West Sussex · Canopy and hood cleaning
Broadfield canopy cleaning
We cover Broadfield for deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Canopy cleaning in Broadfield
Every canopy we clean in Broadfield gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. If you are dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help.
In a smaller place like Broadfield, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Bent or broken filters
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your opening hours decide when we come to Broadfield, not ours.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- 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 photos go into your report.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When to call us in Broadfield
A canopy in Broadfield picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Poor capture at the hood
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Crawley Hospital about 1.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadfield
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Keep the fan on through service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.

What else we do in Broadfield
Canopy cleaning around Broadfield
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Broadfield. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Broadfield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Broadfield falls to 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Seymour Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broadfield (Tyes Place is about 4.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Broadfield: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Broadfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Broadfield does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you come out to Broadfield?
Yes. Broadfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Why act early in Broadfield
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
