Telscombe Cliffs canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Common problems we fix in Telscombe Cliffs
Any canopy in Telscombe Cliffs 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
A hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 3.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs
We clean canopies in Telscombe Cliffs when the kitchen is not cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Telscombe Cliffs are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Telscombe Cliffs
How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Questions from Telscombe Cliffs
Can a school canteen extract in Telscombe Cliffs be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Telscombe Cliffs, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can sea air affect canopy cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Telscombe Cliffs gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
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.
Canopy cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs: the local picture
Telscombe Cliffs lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Telscombe Cliffs and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Telscombe Cliffs is East 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.
For schools such as Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Monk's House, about 3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Telscombe Cliffs; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Around Telscombe Cliffs, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Telscombe Cliffs
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
