How we handle canopy cleaning in Bepton
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you’re dealing with condensation running down the canopy and fat running down the front of the hood, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Bepton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
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, ready for your insurer.

Canopy cleaning around Bepton
The fire and rescue service for Bepton is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Bepton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Historic houses near Bepton, such as Cowdray House about 2.7 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Bepton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Bepton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.

What else we do in Bepton
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Bepton
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Bepton
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Look out for any of the following:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why act early in Bepton
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bepton affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
