Canopy cleaning in Bewbush, done properly
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy edge and grease channels that no longer drain, on plenum chambers, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
In a smaller place like Bewbush, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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 can quote for the whole system.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Bewbush questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Bewbush out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Bewbush, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Bewbush outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Bewbush keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that is often the dirtiest part.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why act early in Bewbush
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. When a site near Bewbush shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Kitchen extracts in Bewbush
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bewbush. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Bewbush falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Bewbush. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bewbush is Crawley Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-east. Commuter trade near Ifield station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Related advice
What we are called out for in Bewbush
However carefully a kitchen in Bewbush is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Alban's or anywhere around Bewbush, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
