What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Codmore Hill
We clean canopies in Codmore Hill when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. Typical jobs include filters that never seem to stay clean and a sticky, discoloured canopy, on island canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers.
In a small place like Codmore Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. 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.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Codmore Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Codmore Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Codmore Hill falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Codmore Hill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Codmore Hill, such as Old Place Manor about 1 mile south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Codmore Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Codmore Hill.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote

What happens if it’s left?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. In a small place like Codmore Hill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Who inspects food businesses in Codmore Hill?
Kitchens in Codmore Hill are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Codmore Hill
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
