Canopy cleaning in Selsey, done properly
We’ve 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’re dealing with filters that never seem to stay clean and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right, from wall canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters onwards.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Selsey, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Never run the range with a filter out
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.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Selsey kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Selsey, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 22 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops in Selsey 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 Selsey are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Seal Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Selsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A few photos of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Selsey.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Selsey
Which fire authority looks after Selsey?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Selsey. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Selsey?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Selsey keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Grease gutters
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
Why act early in Selsey
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. The sooner the work is done, the simpler the job for a site in Selsey.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
