- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Northbridge Street.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

About our canopy cleaning in Northbridge Street
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. If you have a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Northbridge Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
Canopy cleaning around Northbridge Street
Northbridge Street is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Northbridge Street, about 43 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 5.4 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Northbridge Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Salehurst Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Northbridge Street: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Northbridge Street?
That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which council inspects kitchens in Northbridge Street?
In Northbridge Street, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Honest limits
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Never run the range with a filter out
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
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 make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

Why act early in Northbridge Street
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. In a small place like Northbridge Street, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
