Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hill Brow
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. The work covers grease gutters, canopy light fittings and baffle filters, and people most often call us about a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
For a kitchen in or near Hill Brow, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
A canopy clean in Hill Brow now stops the grease spreading further. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. In a small place like Hill Brow, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Grease, kitchens and Hill Brow
Look up Hill Brow on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Hill Brow and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In Hill Brow, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Hill Brow. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 3.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Liss Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

When to call us in Hill Brow
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, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Poor capture at the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Rake Mission Church or elsewhere in Hill Brow, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
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.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Somewhere as small as Hill Brow, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Questions from Hill Brow
Can the work in Hill Brow be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hill Brow?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hill Brow. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work in Hill Brow?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Hill Brow.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
The report gives a recommended next clean date. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
