Canopy cleaning in Roffey, done properly
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers baffle filters, plenum chambers and grease gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are an EHO comment about the canopy and greasy streaks across the canopy.
In a smaller place like Roffey, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Roffey
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roffey. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Roffey. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Roffey. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Roffey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to Littlehaven station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Roffey?
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A hood coated in old grease
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Northolmes Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Roffey: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Roffey?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Roffey. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Roffey?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Roffey included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Roffey when you book.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A light fitting that does not work
- Bent or broken filters
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Roffey
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
