Canopy cleaning in Pulborough, done properly
Every canopy we clean in Pulborough gets the same treatment: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after pictures go into your report. If you’re dealing with a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Pulborough, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We plan the journey to Pulborough and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Pulborough
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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Pulborough, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Pulborough: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Pulborough?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pulborough. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pulborough?
The local authority for Pulborough is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Is Pulborough in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Pulborough, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Canopy cleaning in Pulborough: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pulborough. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Pulborough, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Pulborough falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pulborough (Old Place Manor is about 0.4 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
