Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Puckpool
Every canopy we clean in Puckpool gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. We are often asked to deal with filters that clog soon after cleaning and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on wall canopies, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
In a small place like Puckpool, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. With notice, the visit to Puckpool can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Puckpool
When to call us in Puckpool
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Poor capture at the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Nunwell House is about 3.1 miles south), access may need planning.

How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Puckpool is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What staff can safely do
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. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Puckpool
Who is the fire and rescue service for Puckpool?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Puckpool?
In Puckpool, it’s Isle of Wight council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Bent or broken filters
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Grease, kitchens and Puckpool
Sea air reaches Puckpool, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 17 pubs and bars and about 9 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Puckpool, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Puckpool. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's Church, or anywhere in Puckpool, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Puckpool, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
