Canopy cleaning in Stoke
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Common call-outs are for a sticky, discoloured canopy and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, on canopy light fittings, grease gutters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Stoke, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Stoke
At about 1 mile from the coast, Stoke is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Stoke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stoke. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. The fire and rescue service for Stoke is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as The Hayling College, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Stoke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stoke is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles north.
Stoke is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. From the centre of Stoke to the outskirts, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Stoke is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients.
Postcode districts we cover here for canopy cleaning: PO11. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on Havant Road, Rogers Mead and Northwood Lane and the roads around them. Being close to the A3023, Stoke is simple for us to get to for canopy cleaning. We also cover North Hayling (1 mile east), Tye (1 mile east), Northney (1 mile north-east), Langstone (1 mile north) and Warblington (1 mile north). We also work in nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
Around Stoke
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Maypole pub. The nearest railway station is Warblington station, roughly 2.4 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Warblington Castle (1.8 miles north) and Havant Museum (2.1 miles north). For a walk, there’s Hayling Billy.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
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.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for most canopies. In a small place like Stoke, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

FAQs for Stoke
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke?
Yes. Stoke is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Stoke?
It can. Stoke is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
