Canopy cleaning in North Gorley, done properly
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have fat running down the front of the hood and canopy gutters full of old fat, we can put it right, from plenum chambers, island canopies and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like North Gorley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

North Gorley: your questions answered
Which fire service covers North Gorley?
That’s 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 work overnight in North Gorley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in North Gorley needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Canopy cleaning in North Gorley: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across North Gorley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in North Gorley falls to 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. Kitchens in North Gorley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near North Gorley, such as Breamore House about 4.5 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in North Gorley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to North Gorley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Planning a trip to North Gorley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
