Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stubbington
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you’re dealing with a hood coated in old grease and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can help, from wall canopies, grease gutters and baffle filters onwards.
In a smaller place like Stubbington, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit 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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A site near Stubbington normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

Stubbington kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Stubbington. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Stubbington, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stubbington. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Rood Church, or anywhere in Stubbington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Crofton Anne Dale Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in Stubbington
Can a school canteen extract in Stubbington be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stubbington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which environmental health team covers Stubbington?
That is Fareham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stubbington. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We will tell you if any need replacing.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Stubbington
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote does not 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.

What else we do in Stubbington
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Never run the range with a filter out
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.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
When to call us in Stubbington
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stubbington, about 3.7 miles south-east.

What happens if it’s left?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Around Stubbington, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
