Do you need canopy cleaning in Oxley's Green?
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Historic houses near Oxley's Green, such as Bateman's about 1.9 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Canopy cleaning in Oxley's Green, done properly
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. If you have heavy deposits behind the grease filters and a hood coated in old grease, we can help, from plenum chambers, baffle filters and grease gutters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Honest limits
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Grease, kitchens and Oxley's Green
We cover Oxley's Green, about 43 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Fire safety in Oxley's Green falls to 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket or elsewhere in Oxley's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 5.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Oxley's Green: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Oxley's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Oxley's Green are carried out by Rother council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Oxley's Green?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How long is a canopy clean?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Oxley's Green.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Keep the fan on through service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
