Canopy cleaning in Mayfield
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is usually in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. We are often asked to deal with smoke hanging around the canopy during service and greasy streaks across the canopy, across wall canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Mayfield, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

FAQs for Mayfield
Do you work in villages like Mayfield?
Yes, Mayfield is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mayfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Mayfield are carried out by Wealden council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Mayfield
However carefully a kitchen in Mayfield is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Dunstan or anywhere around Mayfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. In a small place like Mayfield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Check all filters are fitted before service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. 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 doesn’t reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
What affects the quote in Mayfield
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
If you need canopy cleaning in Mayfield, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Canopy cleaning around Mayfield

A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Mayfield. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
