What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shide
For canopies and hoods in Shide, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease filters blocking between washes and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Shide gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Shide
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Shide than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a place like Shide are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Grease, kitchens and Shide
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Shide, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Shide get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Shide. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Shide is St Mary's Hospital, about 1.3 miles north. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. John the Baptist or anywhere around Shide, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Nine Acres Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Shide is about 1 mile south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We provide canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Shide and the rest of the Isle of Wight. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby (12 miles or so).
Canopy cleaning in PO30 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need canopy cleaning at premises on Pan Lane, Ash Road and Dairy Lane or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. You will find Shide on the A3020, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. Other places close to Shide include Newport (1 mile north-west), Blackwater (1 mile south), Downend (2 miles east), Merstone (3 miles south-east) and Rookley (3 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). For island and remote sites, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.

Honest limits
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Electrical faults in the canopy

The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
