East Sussex · Canopy and hood cleaning
Newick canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning in Newick from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
About our canopy cleaning in Newick
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about poor capture at the hood and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, 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 written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Questions from Newick
Can you work in Newick outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Newick can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Newick?
Kitchens in Newick are inspected by Lewes council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What else we do in Newick
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Newick
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Zion Chapel or elsewhere in Newick, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before you book anyone
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Newick
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For canopy cleaning in Newick, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Newick before we set off.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Trading since 2009
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We are fully insured

Grease, kitchens and Newick
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newick. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Newick. 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. Fire safety in Newick falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Uckfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newick, about 4 miles east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Newick Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
