How we handle canopy cleaning in Sayers Common
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have condensation and grease dripping together and drips from the canopy onto the range, we can help, from canopy light fittings, island canopies and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Sayers Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Sayers Common
Grease does not build up any differently in Sayers Common: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; The Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sayers Common, about 1.8 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Sayers Common questions
Will you come out to Sayers Common?
Yes, Sayers Common is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Sayers Common?
In Sayers Common, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sayers Common and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
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.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Sayers Common kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sayers Common. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Sayers Common. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Sayers Common is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ockenden Manor is about 4.6 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Albourne CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
