Canopy cleaning in Bramber
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. If you have greasy streaks across the canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can put it right, from grease gutters, baffle filters and canopy light fittings onwards.
Work in a small place like Bramber starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens if it’s left?
In Bramber, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. With notice, the visit to Bramber can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. 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 can diagnose it and quote.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Somewhere as small as Bramber, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchen extracts in Bramber
There are about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bramber, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Bramber. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bramber. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Bramber, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Southlands Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Bramber is about 4 miles north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex.

Common questions in Bramber
Will you come out to Bramber?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Bramber?
The local authority for Bramber is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Normally because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Bramber
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Upper Beeding Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
