How we handle canopy cleaning in Nettlecombe
For canopies and hoods in Nettlecombe, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. We’re often asked to deal with grease channels that no longer drain and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies.
Work in a small place like Nettlecombe starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nettlecombe run smoothly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- 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 photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Different parts, different methods
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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Common problems we fix in Nettlecombe
Grease does not build up any differently in Nettlecombe: 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- An EHO comment about the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church or elsewhere in Nettlecombe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Nettlecombe
Do you cover smaller places like Nettlecombe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nettlecombe is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Nettlecombe?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
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.
Nettlecombe kitchens: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Nettlecombe is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Nettlecombe 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. Food hygiene inspections in Nettlecombe are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nettlecombe (Rylstone Manor is about 4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nettlecombe is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 4.1 miles north-east.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Nettlecombe gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, large and small. We also work in Portsmouth, around 16 miles away.

Larger places within reach include Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (9 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (4 miles north-east) and East Cowes (11 miles north). Remote and island sites need a little more planning, so tell us where you are when you ask for a quote for canopy cleaning.

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 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 pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
