About our canopy cleaning in Haslingbourne
If the canopy in Haslingbourne is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and wet, greasy drips from the hood, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Haslingbourne, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Haslingbourne
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Petworth Cof E Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Haslingbourne
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. With notice, the visit to Haslingbourne can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why book with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. The timing of a visit to Haslingbourne is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Canopy cleaning in Haslingbourne: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Haslingbourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Haslingbourne is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Haslingbourne get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Haslingbourne (Petworth House is about 1.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Haslingbourne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Haslingbourne is about 12 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Sites in Haslingbourne get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Haslingbourne is one of them. Guildford is in our area too, around 19 miles away.

Landmarks near Haslingbourne
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Black Horse Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Pulborough station, about 3.8 miles east. Well-known places in the area include Coultershaw Heritage Site (0.9 miles south-west) and Coates Castle (1.8 miles south). For a walk, there’s The Mens and Bignor Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Haslingbourne questions
Who inspects food businesses in Haslingbourne?
Food hygiene inspections in Haslingbourne are carried out by Chichester council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you get to a site in Haslingbourne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Haslingbourne included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them because that is often the dirtiest part.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Usually because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
