Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chuck Hatch
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are a filter housing caked in grease and greasy streaks across the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Chuck Hatch, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: 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’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

FAQs for Chuck Hatch
Can you come to Chuck Hatch after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Chuck Hatch?
In Chuck Hatch, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in Chuck Hatch?
Yes. We work in Chuck Hatch and the rest of East Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Chuck Hatch and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What else we do in Chuck Hatch
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
