Canopy cleaning in West Liss, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for condensation running down the canopy and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, across island canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.

Do you need canopy cleaning in West Liss?
Any canopy in West Liss that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
A kitchen near Liss station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Keep the fan on through service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
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 change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease, kitchens and West Liss
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars across West Liss and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Liss. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for West Liss 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in West Liss, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Liss Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
