About our canopy cleaning in Shalfleet
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers wall canopies, canopy light fittings and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke hanging around the canopy during service and an EHO comment about the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Shalfleet, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shalfleet before we set off.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Shalfleet
Shalfleet lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Shalfleet. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Shalfleet is 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.
Historic houses near Shalfleet, such as Swainston Manor about 2.1 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shalfleet, about 5.2 miles east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Michael the Archangel, or anywhere in Shalfleet, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Shalfleet is about 5 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Every kind of commercial site in Shalfleet, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading isn’t interrupted. Shalfleet is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight we cover for canopy cleaning.

What else we do in Shalfleet
Shalfleet questions
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Shalfleet?
It can, as Shalfleet is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which environmental health team covers Shalfleet?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shalfleet. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Shalfleet?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
