How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
About our canopy cleaning in Amberley
If the canopy in Amberley is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with wet, greasy drips from the hood and filters that never seem to stay clean, on plenum chambers, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
FAQs for Amberley
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Amberley?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Amberley. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Amberley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Amberley can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Amberley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Amberley
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Amberley kitchens: local notes
Amberley is covered by West Sussex 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. At about 45 miles from central London, Amberley sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Amberley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run a café or takeaway near Amberley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 3.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Amberley is about 7 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. From the centre of Amberley to the outskirts, we cover canopy cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our area takes in 371 places across West Sussex, large and small. Brighton is in our area too, about 18 miles from Amberley.
Postcode districts we cover here for canopy cleaning: BN18. Streets in the area include School Road, Turnpike Road and Hog Lane, and we cover them all for canopy cleaning. Neighbouring places we cover for canopy cleaning include Cross Gate (1 mile north-east), Bury (1 mile west), Rackham (1 mile east), Watersfield (2 miles north-west) and West Burton (2 miles west). Further out, we also cover Horsham (14 miles north-east), Worthing (8 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (10 miles south-west), Chichester (12 miles south-west), Littlehampton (7 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Amberley
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Dorset House School and Parham Park and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Amberley station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west. Well-known places in the area include Amberley Castle (less than half a mile west) and Arundel and District Hospital (3.9 miles south). For a walk, there’s Amberley Wild Brooks and Bignor Hill.
Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Amberley, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. Somewhere as small as Amberley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we price canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
