For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
About our canopy cleaning in Brownbread Street
Every canopy we clean in Brownbread Street gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after photos go into your report. If you have a hood coated in old grease and fat running down the front of the hood, we can help, from plenum chambers, baffle filters and canopy light fittings onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Brownbread Street, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Canopy cleaning in Brownbread Street: the local picture

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Brownbread Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Why it’s worth doing now in Brownbread Street
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Brownbread 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Brownbread Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and photos are included

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Brownbread Street questions
Can you get to a site in Brownbread Street?
Yes, Brownbread Street is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brownbread Street?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Brownbread Street. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
