Canopy cleaning in Nettlestone, done properly
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include a sticky, discoloured canopy and fat running down the front of the hood, on baffle filters, island canopies and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Nettlestone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What we are called out for in Nettlestone
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.
Look out for any of the following:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Helen's Church or elsewhere in Nettlestone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Nettlestone: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Nettlestone?
The local authority for Nettlestone is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Nettlestone?
Yes. Nettlestone 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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
When do you clean the canopy?
We clean when you’re not cooking, so most kitchens do not lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Nettlestone?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Also in Nettlestone
Why act early in Nettlestone
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Grease, kitchens and Nettlestone
The coast is only about 1 mile from Nettlestone. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nettlestone. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Nettlestone are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nettlestone Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 5.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Nettlestone.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
