Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Broad Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
About our canopy cleaning in Broad Street
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are an EHO comment about the canopy and condensation running down the canopy.
In a small place like Broad Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Broad Street.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Broad Street
- Plenum chambers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. With notice, the visit to Broad Street can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Broad Street
Any canopy in Broad Street that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Lamb House, about 4.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Broad Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone

- Whether the figure could change on the day

- What hours they’ll be on site
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. Cleaning it clears the drip.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Broad Street kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Broad Street. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Fire safety in Broad Street falls to East 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. Kitchens in Broad Street get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Conquest Hospital about 4.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Broad Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Broad Street
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Broad Street?
It can. Broad Street is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Will you come out to Broad Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broad Street included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
