Lambs Green canopy cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning for Lambs Green, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Canopy cleaning in Lambs Green
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you are dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and grease channels that no longer drain, we can put it right, from island canopies, baffle filters and grease gutters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Lambs Green, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Lambs Green knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Questions from Lambs Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lambs Green?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Lambs Green?
Yes, Lambs Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
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.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not 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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lambs Green
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lambs Green is calmer for everyone.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What affects the quote in Lambs Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Canopy cleaning around Lambs Green
Lambs Green is about 27 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Lambs Green get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Rusper Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Crawley Hospital, about 2.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary Magdalene church or elsewhere in Lambs Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
