Canopy cleaning in Hampers Green
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. Typical jobs include grease channels that no longer drain and drips from the canopy onto the range, across canopy light fittings, baffle filters and grease gutters.
For a kitchen in or near Hampers Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Canopy cleaning in Hampers Green: the local picture
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Hampers Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Hampers Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Hampers Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hampers Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Midhurst Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hampers Green, about 5.5 miles west. Petworth House, about 0.6 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Hampers Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hampers Green.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Hampers Green questions
Can you come to Hampers Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hampers Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hampers Green?
The local authority for Hampers Green is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampers Green
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Leave it or put it right?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Planning a trip to Hampers Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Every job surveyed first
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
