Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wroxall
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 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. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy streaks across the canopy and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
In a small place like Wroxall, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Wroxall
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wroxall?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Wroxall?
It can, as Wroxall is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it isn’t a full TR19 clean. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Canopy cleaning around Wroxall
At about 2 miles from the coast, Wroxall is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Fire safety in Wroxall falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Wroxall. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Rylstone Manor is about 2.2 miles east), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Wroxall is about 7 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO38, we can carry out canopy cleaning at your premises. We cover 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. Portsmouth is in our area too, around 15 miles away.
Our technicians cover all of PO38 for canopy cleaning and the roads nearby. If you need canopy cleaning at premises on Station Road, High Street and St Martins Road or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work.

What else we do in Wroxall
Leave it or put it right?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Planning a trip to Wroxall ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
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.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wroxall run smoothly.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What affects the quote in Wroxall
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Wroxall
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wroxall Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
