Canopy cleaning around Mount Pleasant
At about 3 miles from the coast, Mount Pleasant is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Mount Pleasant, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Mount Pleasant is covered by 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.
For schools such as Priestlands School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mount Pleasant, about 1.4 miles south-east.

Canopy cleaning in Mount Pleasant, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Mount Pleasant, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Mount Pleasant
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Common questions in Mount Pleasant
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Mount Pleasant?
It can. Salt air reaches Mount Pleasant, which is within about 3 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which environmental health team covers Mount Pleasant?
Kitchens in Mount Pleasant are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
What we do, step by step
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, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Mount Pleasant is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
