Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mockbeggar
We clean canopies in Mockbeggar when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you have overflowing grease troughs and gutters and grease filters blocking between washes, we can put it right.
In a small place like Mockbeggar, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Mockbeggar?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A hood coated in old grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
For kitchens in and around Mockbeggar, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
Questions to ask before booking

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mockbeggar run smoothly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Why act early in Mockbeggar
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a small place like Mockbeggar, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Mockbeggar
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Photo reports with every job
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Mockbeggar questions
Can you work in Mockbeggar outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Mockbeggar keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Mockbeggar?
Yes. Mockbeggar is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Mockbeggar
It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mockbeggar. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Mockbeggar 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Martins or anywhere around Mockbeggar, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
