Part by part
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That’s a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
About our canopy cleaning in Norton
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Canopy cleaning around Norton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Norton is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Norton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Food hygiene inspections in Norton are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St. James' Church, or anywhere in Norton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Norton is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 4.8 miles north.
Norton is about 4 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Norton, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Norton is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight we cover for canopy cleaning.

FAQs for Norton
Does the sea air around Norton make a difference to canopy cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Norton gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you get to a site in Norton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Norton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean when you are not cooking, so service is not affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. In a small place like Norton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
If you need canopy cleaning in Norton, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep the fan on through service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
