Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Sherfield on Loddon
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, 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. We are often asked to deal with wet, greasy drips from the hood and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across wall canopies, canopy light fittings and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Sherfield on Loddon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Sherfield on Loddon?
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like Sherfield School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Sherfield on Loddon
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sherfield on Loddon?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sherfield on Loddon. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can a school canteen extract in Sherfield on Loddon be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Sherfield on Loddon. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. For a village or hamlet like Sherfield on Loddon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
