Honest limits

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
  • A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
  • A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out

If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Canopy cleaning in Shripney, done properly

Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and grease gutters, and people most often call us about grease channels that no longer drain and grease dripping from the canopy edge.

In a small place like Shripney, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Shripney

Shripney is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shripney. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Shripney are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bersted Green Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Cross Church, or anywhere in Shripney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Shripney knowing what to expect.

  1. We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
  2. Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
  3. We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
  4. Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
  5. We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.

Before we arrive

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The scale of the work
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Multi-site and managed buildings

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Shripney and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Shripney?

The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
  • Grease channels that no longer drain
  • A sticky, discoloured canopy
  • A filter housing caked in grease

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 1.3 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions to ask before you book

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What paperwork you get at the end

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Common questions in Shripney

Who inspects food businesses in Shripney?

The local authority for Shripney is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shripney?

Shripney is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

How long will it take to clean the canopy?

A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. We’ll tell you what to expect.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Why is my canopy dripping grease?

Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What do you do with what you remove?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What does canopy cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Keep every filter in place while cooking
  • Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
  • Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
  • Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy

A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.

Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
