About our canopy cleaning in Angmering-on-Sea
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation and grease dripping together and fat running down the front of the hood.
In a small place like Angmering-on-Sea, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere like Angmering-on-Sea, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Angmering-on-Sea
At about 1 mile from the coast, Angmering-on-Sea is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Angmering-on-Sea, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Angmering-on-Sea get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Angmering-on-Sea (Ecclesden Manor is about 1.7 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as East Preston Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What else we do in Angmering-on-Sea
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Angmering-on-Sea
Which fire authority looks after Angmering-on-Sea?
Fire safety enforcement in Angmering-on-Sea is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. 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.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Common problems we fix in Angmering-on-Sea
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Angmering-on-Sea, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
