Canopy cleaning in Street End
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and heavy deposits behind the grease filters, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Street End, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Bent or broken filters
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

What we are called out for in Street End
Grease does not build up any differently in Street End: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
What we are most often called out for:
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Where a hall near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham, or anywhere in Street End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In a small place like Street End, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Street End: your questions answered
Is canopy cleaning any different in a coastal place like Street End?
It can. Street End is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which fire authority looks after Street End?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you work in Street End?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Street End included.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Grease, kitchens and Street End
Street End is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Street End and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Street End. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sidlesham Primary School or anywhere near Street End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Street End is about 4 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. Whether your site is in the middle of Street End or further out, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Street End is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for canopy cleaning. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page (13 miles or so).
