Isle of Wight · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Newport, Isle of Wight
We cover Newport for canopy and hood cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work

How we handle canopy cleaning in Newport
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. We’re often asked to deal with a filter housing caked in grease and a hood coated in old grease, across wall canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters.
Around a town like Newport, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Newport kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 20 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Newport. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newport. 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. Fire safety in Newport falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1 mile south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Nine Acres Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 0.8 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Newport is about 10 miles south-west of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Newport, we can take on canopy cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Our the Isle of Wight coverage runs to 125 places, and Newport is one of them. We also work in Portsmouth, around 12 miles away.
Work in PO30 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on High Street, Red Fox Square and Drill Hall Road and nearby roads. Being close to the A3020 and A3054, Newport is easy for our technicians to reach at any hour. Close by, we work in Shide (1 mile south-east), Blackwater (2 miles south), Downend (2 miles east), Merstone (3 miles south-east) and Rookley (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (4 miles north), Sandown (7 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). As one of the bigger places in the Isle of Wight, Newport has commercial sites of every size, all within our area for canopy cleaning. For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.
Local landmarks in Newport
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Seaclose Park, Castle Inn and Christ The King College, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Not far away are Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Work in Newport is usually booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Other services in Newport
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Catching it early in Newport means you choose the day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Full insurance on every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
What affects the quote in Newport
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Newport
Can you work in Newport outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Newport needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Newport?
The local authority for Newport is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
