Canopy cleaning in East Worthing
Every canopy we clean in East Worthing gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get photos of the canopy before and after. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about condensation running down the canopy and a filter housing caked in grease.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like East Worthing gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Bent or broken filters
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in East Worthing
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Worthing
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What the work involves, part by part
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. A thorough clean puts that right.
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. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Kitchen extracts in East Worthing
Sea air reaches East Worthing, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 58 pubs and bars and about 11 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central East Worthing. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for East Worthing is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a café or takeaway near East Worthing station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Church and community hall kitchens, near St George's Church or anywhere around East Worthing, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Tell us when your site near East Worthing is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures 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.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Questions from East Worthing
Is East Worthing within the area you cover?
Yes. East Worthing is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East Worthing?
Fire safety enforcement in East Worthing is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Worthing
Getting the canopy cleaned in East Worthing now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
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.

When to call us in East Worthing
However carefully a kitchen in East Worthing is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Condensation running down the canopy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lyndhurst Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
