About our canopy cleaning in Bosham Hoe
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that clog soon after cleaning and drips from the canopy onto the range.
Somewhere as small as Bosham Hoe, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Bosham Hoe?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Look out for any of the following:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Bosham Hoe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Planning a trip to Bosham Hoe ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Bosham Hoe questions
Does being near the coast affect canopy cleaning in Bosham Hoe?
It can. Bosham Hoe is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Which environmental health team covers Bosham Hoe?
In Bosham Hoe, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens do not lose a service. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
