What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Canopy cleaning in Sullington, done properly
If the canopy in Sullington is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and condensation and grease dripping together, we can help.
Work in a small place like Sullington 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Sullington, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Sullington
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops across Sullington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. The fire and rescue service for Sullington is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Sullington are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Parham House is about 2.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thakeham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Sullington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Sullington
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Sullington during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Sullington. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sullington?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Sullington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which canopies and hoods 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.
Are the filters cleaned too?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What else we do in Sullington
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
