How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Purbrook Heath
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. 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. If you’re dealing with overflowing grease troughs and gutters and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, grease gutters and island canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Purbrook Heath starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Purbrook Heath
Purbrook Heath lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 11 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Purbrook Heath. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Purbrook Heath sits within the area of 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.
For schools such as Purbrook Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Warblington Castle is about 4.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Purbrook Heath is about 1 mile west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. We carry out canopy cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Purbrook Heath and the rest of Hampshire. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, large and small.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Purbrook Heath.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
FAQs for Purbrook Heath
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Purbrook Heath?
It can, as Purbrook Heath is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Purbrook Heath?
Fire safety enforcement in Purbrook Heath is handled by 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.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you cover Purbrook Heath?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Purbrook Heath included.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Purbrook Heath?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What we are called out for in Purbrook Heath
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Alexandra Hospital is the nearest hospital to Purbrook Heath, about 1.3 miles south-west.
What your quote should include

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
