Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Warborne
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are an EHO comment about the canopy and drips from the canopy onto the range.
For a kitchen in or near Warborne, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Warborne: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Warborne?
Fire safety enforcement in Warborne is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can a school canteen extract in Warborne be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Warborne. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Warborne
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Warborne kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Warborne, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Warborne. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Food hygiene inspections in Warborne are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Southlands School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere in Warborne, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Warborne is about 1 mile north of Lymington, in Hampshire.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What else we do in Warborne
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Warborne before we set off.
- 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.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
