How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a site near Winklebury, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading

About our canopy cleaning in Winklebury
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can help.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Winklebury gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Winklebury
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Condensation and grease dripping together
For schools such as Castle Hill Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Canopy cleaning around Winklebury
Food Standards Agency records include about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Winklebury. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Winklebury falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Winklebury are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Winklebury
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises

Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Winklebury: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Winklebury?
Winklebury is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Winklebury be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Winklebury can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work in Winklebury?
Yes. Winklebury is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
