About our canopy cleaning in Ebernoe
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and island canopies, and people most often call us about poor capture at the hood and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
When to call us in Ebernoe
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
Historic houses near Ebernoe, such as Petworth House about 3.7 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What affects the quote in Ebernoe
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ebernoe.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- 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.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- 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

Advice
FAQs for Ebernoe
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Ebernoe?
Fire safety enforcement in Ebernoe is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Ebernoe?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ebernoe. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Ebernoe?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something 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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
