Questions from Hoyle
Who inspects food businesses in Hoyle?
The local authority for Hoyle is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hoyle?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hoyle. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
About our canopy cleaning in Hoyle
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is usually in a worse state. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. Common call-outs are for a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a hood coated in old grease, across grease gutters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Hoyle starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hoyle kitchens: local notes
Hoyle is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. The fire and rescue service for Hoyle is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St James, or anywhere in Hoyle, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 2.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Hoyle is about 9 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Sites in Hoyle get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby, about 19 miles away.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
The rails and channels that hold the filters collect grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
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. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a small place like Hoyle, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Why book with us
- We are fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hoyle.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hoyle
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hoyle and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Hoyle
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Grease filters blocking between washes
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Midhurst Rother College or anywhere near Hoyle, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
