Your questions about canopy cleaning in Bognor Regis
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bognor Regis?
Fire safety enforcement in Bognor Regis is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can a school canteen extract in Bognor Regis be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Bognor Regis. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
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.
About our canopy cleaning in Bognor Regis
For canopies and hoods in Bognor Regis, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. If you have grease dripping from the canopy edge and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can put it right, from island canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters onwards.
In the busier parts of Bognor Regis, kitchens are often on the ground floor with flats or offices above, and the extract can climb several storeys before it discharges. Vertical risers like that need access panels in the right places, and any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why act early in Bognor Regis
For a kitchen in Bognor Regis, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Larger sites in Bognor Regis are easier to manage on a planned schedule.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Bognor Regis
At about 1 mile from the coast, Bognor Regis 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 shows about 93 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 42 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bognor Regis. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Bognor Regis sits within the area of 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in Bognor Regis, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Bognor Regis station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Landmarks near Bognor Regis
Around Bognor Regis, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Norfolk Hotel, Southway Primary School and West Park.

Well-known places in the area include Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (0.5 miles east) and Tote Copse Castle (3.1 miles north).
What we are called out for in Bognor Regis
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
A hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 0.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies

What else we do in Bognor Regis
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Access to the roof, the plant room and a parking space are worth sorting out before a visit in Bognor Regis.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
