Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North Baddesley
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are filters that clog soon after cleaning and fat running down the front of the hood.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, 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. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in North Baddesley
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why deal with it now?
In North Baddesley, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Around North Baddesley, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Why North Baddesley businesses choose us
- Every job surveyed first
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured
- Trading since 2009
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A site near North Baddesley usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix

What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.

What we are called out for in North Baddesley

- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
For schools such as North Baddesley Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
