Canopy cleaning in Lower Horncroft, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. We are often asked to deal with wet, greasy drips from the hood and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, on canopy light fittings, grease gutters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Lower Horncroft, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Canopy cleaning around Lower Horncroft
Lower Horncroft is covered by West 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. About 43 miles out from central London, Lower Horncroft is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Historic houses near Lower Horncroft, such as Bignor Roman Villa about 2.2 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fittleworth CofE Village School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we’re called out for in Lower Horncroft
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Where a hall near Church of St Agatha, or anywhere in Lower Horncroft, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What else we do in Lower Horncroft
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
What happens if it’s left?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. With notice, the visit to Lower Horncroft can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What you get with us

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lower Horncroft.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures 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.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
