How we handle canopy cleaning in Earnley
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for grease filters blocking between washes and condensation and grease dripping together, on wall canopies, island canopies and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Earnley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Earnley
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Earnley now saves a bigger job later. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. A fault that closes a site in a village like Earnley affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Canopy cleaning in Earnley: the local picture
Earnley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Earnley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Earnley 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. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like East Wittering Community Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Earnley Church or elsewhere in Earnley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Earnley is about 3 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex.

What affects the quote in Earnley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Earnley questions
Do you work at weekends in Earnley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Earnley can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Earnley?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Earnley gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We will tell you what to expect.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Earnley.
- 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.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
