Canopy cleaning in Pell Green
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for a hood coated in old grease and grease filters blocking between washes, across baffle filters, island canopies and plenum chambers.
For a kitchen in or near Pell Green, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Why it’s worth doing now in Pell Green
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pell Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Pell Green and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Canopy cleaning around Pell Green
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in Pell Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Kitchens in Pell Green get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Pell Green sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wadhurst CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Pell Green is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-east. Historic houses near Pell Green, such as Wadhurst Castle about 0.9 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Pell Green can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
