Canopy and hood cleaning in Rake, Hampshire
Canopy and hood cleaning for Rake, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Rake now stops the grease spreading further. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rake affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Rake
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you are dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Rake, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Canopy cleaning around Rake
In Rake, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Rake is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Rake Mission Church or elsewhere in Rake, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Rake CofE Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 4.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Rake before we set off.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What else we do in Rake
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Rake: your questions answered
Is Rake within the area you cover?
Yes, Rake is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Rake?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Rake doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Typically because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
