Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Redenham
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 have filters that never seem to stay clean and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can help.
In a small place like Redenham, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Redenham: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Redenham?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Redenham. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Redenham?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Redenham. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
Common problems we fix in Redenham
However carefully a kitchen in Redenham is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why it’s worth doing now in Redenham
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Planning a trip to Redenham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Redenham.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Redenham
The fire and rescue service for Redenham is 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Redenham. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 3.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Peter in the Wood, or anywhere in Redenham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
