About our canopy cleaning in Horam
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Common call-outs are for a hood coated in old grease and drips from the canopy onto the range, on grease gutters, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Horam starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why act early in Horam
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why Horam businesses choose us
- Every job surveyed first
- Full insurance on every job
- Trading since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Horam run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Horam
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
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.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Canopy cleaning around Horam
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Horam and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Fire safety in Horam falls to East 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. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Horam. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Horselunges Manor, about 3.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Horam; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Maynards Green Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Hellingly Hospital Railway, about 3.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Questions from Horam
Which council inspects kitchens in Horam?
Food hygiene inspections in Horam are carried out by Wealden council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Horam?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Horam. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you cover Horam?
Yes. We work in Horam and the rest of East Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
