Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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.
About our canopy cleaning in Coldwaltham
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have poor capture at the hood and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, we can help, from wall canopies, grease gutters and plenum chambers onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Coldwaltham, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Common questions in Coldwaltham
Who is the fire and rescue service for Coldwaltham?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work at weekends in Coldwaltham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Coldwaltham needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Coldwaltham?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Coldwaltham can be planned properly.
- The canopy is checked from photos 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. At about 43 miles from central London, Coldwaltham sits well inside the area we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. With notice, the visit to Coldwaltham can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
