What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Cocking Causeway.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cocking Causeway
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Typical jobs include filters that clog soon after cleaning and a sticky, discoloured canopy, across grease gutters, wall canopies and plenum chambers.
In a small place like Cocking Causeway, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Cocking Causeway
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Cocking Causeway: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Cocking Causeway?
That is Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cocking Causeway. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Cocking Causeway outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Cocking Causeway doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Are the filters cleaned too?
They’re taken out, cleaned and refitted. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Grease, kitchens and Cocking Causeway
There are about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Cocking Causeway, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kitchens in Cocking Causeway get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Cocking Causeway is covered by 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Cocking Causeway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 1.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cowdray House is about 1.2 miles north), access may need planning.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Bent or broken filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cocking Causeway
For a kitchen in Cocking Causeway, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. In a small place like Cocking Causeway, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
