About our canopy cleaning in Newbridge
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right.
In a small place like Newbridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Grease, kitchens and Newbridge
Newbridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Newbridge. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newbridge. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Swainston Manor, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Newbridge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like Whitecroft Hospital, about 5.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Newbridge is about 5 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We carry out canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Newbridge and the rest of the Isle of Wight. Newbridge is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover for canopy cleaning. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 16 miles from Newbridge.
Every address in PO41 is within our area for canopy cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. You will find streets such as Main Road and Clay Lane, and we cover them all for canopy cleaning. Other places close to Newbridge include Ningwood (1 mile north-west), Calbourne (1 mile south-east), Wellow (1 mile west), Shalcombe (1 mile south-west) and Thorley Street (2 miles west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (5 miles east), Ryde (11 miles east), Cowes (7 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (11 miles east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east). Remote and island sites need a little more planning, so please mention your location when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Near you in Newbridge

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Newbridge
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Common questions in Newbridge
Which fire service covers Newbridge?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Newbridge in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Newbridge. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Newbridge run smoothly.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
