Canopy cleaning in Storrington
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. If you have filters that clog soon after cleaning and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help, from grease gutters, plenum chambers and baffle filters onwards.
In a smaller place like Storrington, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What we are called out for in Storrington
Any canopy in Storrington that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Storrington (Parham House is about 2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Storrington
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Storrington?
Kitchens in Storrington are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Storrington?
Storrington is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you cover Storrington?
Yes. Storrington is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Storrington
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. In a smaller place like Storrington, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Full insurance on every job

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Storrington can typically be finished without a second trip.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
