Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pevensey Bay
If the canopy in Pevensey Bay is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. If you have a hood coated in old grease and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can help, from baffle filters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
In a smaller place like Pevensey Bay, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
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. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Pevensey Bay: your questions answered
Does the sea air around Pevensey Bay make a difference to canopy cleaning?
It can. Pevensey Bay is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you work in Pevensey Bay outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Pevensey Bay needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What affects the quote in Pevensey Bay
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Canopy cleaning in Pevensey Bay: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Pevensey Bay. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Pevensey Bay and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Food hygiene inspections in Pevensey Bay are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Wilfrid's Church Pevensey Bay, or anywhere in Pevensey Bay, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near Pevensey Bay station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A site near Pevensey Bay usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

Common problems we fix in Pevensey Bay
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A hood coated in old grease
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Pevensey and Westham CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
