How we handle canopy cleaning in Lodsworth
If the canopy in Lodsworth is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers grease gutters, wall canopies and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a hood coated in old grease and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
For a kitchen in or near Lodsworth, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Lodsworth
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Lodsworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Lodsworth. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Lodsworth get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 2.4 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Peter or anywhere around Lodsworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the quote in Lodsworth
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Common problems we fix in Lodsworth
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A hood coated in old grease
- Poor capture at the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone

- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether VAT is included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How it works
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, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. In a small place like Lodsworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
