Isle of Wight · Canopy and hood cleaning
Ryde canopy cleaning
We cover Ryde for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Canopy cleaning in Ryde, done properly
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you have grease filters blocking between washes and condensation running down the canopy, we can help.
Most kitchens in a town like Ryde can’t close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. Three things shape a visit in Ryde: when you’re closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote

Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Ryde, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. With a fire risk assessment or inspection due, getting the work done first puts you on the front foot.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What you get with us
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What we are called out for in Ryde
However carefully a kitchen in Ryde is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
A kitchen near Ryde St Johns Road station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Ryde kitchens: local notes
Ryde is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 28 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Ryde. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Ryde get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gosport War Memorial Hospital (about 4.8 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Ryde, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Ryde is about 6 miles south of Gosport, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Ryde, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

Ryde questions
Which fire authority looks after Ryde?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ryde. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can a school canteen extract in Ryde be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Ryde. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Normally because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
