How we price canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Canopy cleaning in Danehill
For canopies and hoods in Danehill, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after photos go into your report. Common call-outs are for filters that never seem to stay clean and drips from the canopy onto the range, on island canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
For a kitchen in or near Danehill, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we’re called out for in Danehill
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A hood coated in old grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Danehill Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Danehill run smoothly.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Canopy cleaning around Danehill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Danehill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Danehill sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Danehill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Danehill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Danehill
Do you work at weekends in Danehill?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Danehill needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Danehill?
Food hygiene inspections in Danehill are carried out by Wealden council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
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.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Allow an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Your quote will give a time.
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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you work in Danehill?
Yes. We work in Danehill and the rest of West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
