Loxwood canopy cleaning
Specialist canopy cleaning for Loxwood: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
About our canopy cleaning in Loxwood
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. Common call-outs are for a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, across canopy light fittings, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
Work in a small place like Loxwood starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Loxwood
Which council inspects kitchens in Loxwood?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Loxwood. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Loxwood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Loxwood needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
What we are called out for in Loxwood
A canopy in Loxwood picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
For schools such as Loxwood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why it’s worth doing now in Loxwood
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Somewhere as small as Loxwood, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

How it works
The visit has three parts: 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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Loxwood, 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Managing agents and facilities teams in Loxwood
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
