Canopy cleaning in Hollington
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. Typical jobs include drips from the canopy onto the range and a filter housing caked in grease, on wall canopies, island canopies and plenum chambers.
In a smaller place like Hollington, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we’re called out for in Hollington
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- A filter housing caked in grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Anne or anywhere around Hollington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Hollington
Do you work in villages like Hollington?
Yes. Hollington is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hollington during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hollington. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
The clean is done out of hours: after service, overnight or before opening. Equipment under the canopy needs to be off and cool.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What happens if it’s left?
For a kitchen in Hollington, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hollington and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Hollington when you book.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, 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.

Canopy cleaning around Hollington
Hollington is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in Hollington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hollington is covered by East 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Conquest Hospital about 1.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hollington Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
