Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Netley
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Common call-outs are for poor capture at the hood and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, on baffle filters, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
In a smaller place like Netley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.

Part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
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 any work starts.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a place like Netley are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Netley?
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
For schools such as Netley Abbey Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Netley
Netley is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 22 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops across Netley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Netley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hospital like Coldeast, about 2.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Commuter trade near Netley station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
