Canopy and hood cleaning in Brook Street, West Sussex

- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Canopy cleaning in Brook Street
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. We are often asked to deal with condensation and grease dripping together and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, on grease gutters, baffle filters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Brook 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Brook Street
Do you cover smaller places like Brook Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Brook Street?
In Brook Street, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before work begins.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Brook Street
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies
When to call us in Brook Street
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- A hood coated in old grease
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ockenden Manor is about 1.3 miles south), access may need planning.

Canopy cleaning in Brook Street: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Brook Street. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Brook Street 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. Food hygiene inspections in Brook Street are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Francis Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brook Street, about 3.1 miles south-east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Visits to a village like Brook Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit

- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
