Canopy cleaning in East Marden
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and poor capture at the hood, on baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as East Marden, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote

- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Kitchen extracts in East Marden
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in East Marden. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. East Marden is about 51 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Uppark is about 2.6 miles north-west), access may need planning.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
What we are called out for in East Marden
Any canopy in East Marden that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- An EHO comment about the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in East Marden, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Why act early in East Marden
For a kitchen in East Marden, 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 place like East Marden, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in East Marden
Can you work in East Marden outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in East Marden?
East Marden is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
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.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for most canopies.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like East Marden, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
