Do you need canopy cleaning in Fernhurst?
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Fernhurst, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

About our canopy cleaning in Fernhurst
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Fernhurst, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Fernhurst
Can a school canteen extract in Fernhurst be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Fernhurst, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Fernhurst?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fernhurst. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.

What else we do in Fernhurst
Why it’s worth doing now in Fernhurst
For a kitchen in Fernhurst, 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 small place like Fernhurst, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Fernhurst, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Fernhurst kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Fernhurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. The fire and rescue service for Fernhurst is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Fernhurst are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fernhurst Primary School or anywhere near Fernhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Fernhurst (Cowdray House is about 4.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
Fernhurst is about 10 miles east of Petersfield, in Surrey. For canopy cleaning in and around Fernhurst, please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
