Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
  • Report new drips or smells from the canopy
  • Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
  • Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking

We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.

The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

Canopy cleaning in Broomershill

Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. We are often asked to deal with grease filters blocking between washes and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, on baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Why deal with it now?

If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Broomershill

Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Canopy gutters full of old fat
  • A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
  • A filter housing caked in grease
  • Filters that clog soon after cleaning

Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Comparing quotes

  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether they’re fully insured

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Broomershill knowing what to expect.

  1. We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
  2. The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
  3. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
  4. Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
  5. Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Getting a quote

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What the work involves, part by part

School and staff canteen kitchens

School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.

Plenums and filter housings

The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.

Grease, kitchens and Broomershill

Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Broomershill. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Food hygiene inspections in Broomershill are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Broomershill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Old Place Manor, about 1 mile west, is one of the historic houses near Broomershill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Broomershill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Broomershill

Which council inspects kitchens in Broomershill?

The local authority for Broomershill is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Do you work at weekends in Broomershill?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Broomershill needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

What about areas you can’t get to?

Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

How much of the canopy do you clean?

Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.

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 doesn’t spread.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

What do you do to protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
