When to call us in Middle Wallop
Grease does not build up any differently in Middle Wallop: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wallop Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone

- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
How we handle canopy cleaning in Middle Wallop
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers island canopies, canopy light fittings and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation and grease dripping together and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Work in a small place like Middle Wallop starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. In a small place like Middle Wallop, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Why it’s worth doing now in Middle Wallop
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Middle Wallop now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

- Fully insured
- A written report with pictures after each visit

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Middle Wallop
Who is the fire and rescue service for Middle Wallop?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Middle Wallop. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Middle Wallop?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Middle Wallop is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean when the kitchen is closed: after service, overnight or before opening. The range must be switched off and cooled first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Middle Wallop kitchens: local notes
Middle Wallop sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Middle Wallop get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Middle Wallop, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
