Canopy cleaning in Bosham
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers plenum chambers, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about grease channels that no longer drain and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
Somewhere as small as Bosham, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bosham
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Visits to a village like Bosham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Bosham
A canopy in Bosham picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bosham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Kitchen extracts in Bosham
Sea air reaches Bosham, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Bosham, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Bosham is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near The United Reformed Church, or anywhere in Bosham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like St Richard's Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Leave it or put it right?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Bosham is calmer for everyone.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Bosham
Can you get to a site in Bosham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bosham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bosham?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bosham. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
When it’s something else
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
