East Sussex · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Green Street, East Sussex
Professional canopy cleaning in and around Green Street, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Canopy cleaning in Green Street, done properly
Every canopy we clean in Green Street gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. The work covers canopy light fittings, baffle filters and grease gutters, and people most often call us about condensation running down the canopy and fat running down the front of the hood.
In a village or hamlet like Green Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Green Street
Can school kitchens in Green Street be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Green Street. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does coastal air change anything about canopy cleaning in Green Street?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Green Street than inland. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Green Street?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
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.
What the work covers
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Grease, kitchens and Green Street
Sea air reaches Green Street, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Green Street. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Green Street get their food hygiene inspections from Hastings council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near Crowhurst station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Green Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Green Street?
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- An EHO comment about the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St George or elsewhere in Green Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
