Canopy Cleaning in Shalcombe
For canopy cleaning in Shalcombe, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
What we are called out for in Shalcombe
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
Mottistone Manor, about 1.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Shalcombe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the price is fixed
How we handle canopy cleaning in Shalcombe
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers baffle filters, grease gutters and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease filters blocking between washes and drips from the canopy onto the range.
In a small place like Shalcombe, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. With notice, the visit to Shalcombe can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Honest limits
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.

What else we do in Shalcombe
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Shalcombe and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Shalcombe questions
Can you come to Shalcombe after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Shalcombe doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Shalcombe?
It can, as Shalcombe is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Shalcombe?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Shalcombe kitchens: local notes
Shalcombe is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shalcombe. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Fire safety in Shalcombe falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Shalcombe, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
