Canopy cleaning in Lyndhurst
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you’re dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can help, from baffle filters, canopy light fittings and island canopies onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Lyndhurst, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Canopy cleaning around Lyndhurst
Food Standards Agency data counts about 21 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Lyndhurst. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lyndhurst. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Lyndhurst sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Ashurst Hospital, about 2.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Our Lady and St Edward or elsewhere in Lyndhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions from Lyndhurst
Will you come out to Lyndhurst?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Lyndhurst out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lyndhurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Why deal with it now?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why Lyndhurst businesses choose us
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. Cleaning it clears the drip.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
What affects the quote in Lyndhurst
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a place like Lyndhurst, we fit the visit around your hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
