Canopy cleaning in Bepton Common, 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 email photos, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and poor capture at the hood, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Bepton Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Bepton Common
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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. The timing of a visit to Bepton Common is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The canopy is checked from photos 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Bepton Common
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Bepton Common kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Bepton Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. The fire and rescue service for Bepton Common is West Sussex 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. Kitchens in Bepton Common get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Cowdray House, about 1.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Bepton Common; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood or elsewhere in Bepton Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
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.
