Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep the fan on through service
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
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 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.
How we handle canopy cleaning in Kingsfold
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you are dealing with overflowing grease troughs and gutters and poor capture at the hood, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Kingsfold, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Canopy cleaning in Kingsfold: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Kingsfold, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kingsfold sits within the area of 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. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kingsfold. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 3.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Whether the kitchen is in Kingsfold itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

Kingsfold questions
Which fire authority looks after Kingsfold?
Kingsfold is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Kingsfold be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Kingsfold in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Kingsfold.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we’ll show staff where it is.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Kingsfold.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
