Newpound Common questions
Which fire service covers Newpound Common?
That is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Newpound Common?
In Newpound Common, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean when you’re not cooking, so service isn’t affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is Newpound Common in your area?
Yes. Newpound Common is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Newpound Common?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Canopy cleaning in Newpound Common, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and people most often call us about condensation and grease dripping together and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
In a small place like Newpound Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. 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.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Newpound Common
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Newpound Common.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- 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.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What else we do in Newpound Common
Do you need canopy cleaning in Newpound Common?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A hood coated in old grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula or elsewhere in Newpound Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why act early in Newpound Common
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London
