How we handle canopy cleaning in Segensworth
For canopies and hoods in Segensworth, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and an EHO comment about the canopy, across grease gutters, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a small place like Segensworth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.

Questions from Segensworth
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Segensworth?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Segensworth. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Segensworth during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Segensworth. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Segensworth
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. The timing of a visit to Segensworth is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Canopy cleaning in Segensworth: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Segensworth is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 13 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Segensworth. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Segensworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a café or takeaway near Swanwick station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. For schools such as Cornerstone CofE (VA) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John, or anywhere in Segensworth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
