Canopy cleaning in Fisher: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Fisher is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Fisher and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. The fire and rescue service for Fisher is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Leodegar's Church or anywhere around Fisher, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Fisher is St Richard's Hospital, about 3.2 miles north.

Canopy cleaning in Fisher
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and people most often call us about an EHO comment about the canopy and canopy gutters full of old fat.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fisher
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. A planned visit to Fisher is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why Fisher businesses choose us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a village or hamlet like Fisher, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
What we are called out for in Fisher
Any canopy in Fisher that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chichester High School For Girls tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

FAQs for Fisher
Do you cover smaller places like Fisher?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fisher is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the sea air around Fisher make a difference to canopy cleaning?
It can. Fisher is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that is where grease hides.
