How we handle canopy cleaning in Tisman's Common
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. Typical jobs include wet, greasy drips from the hood and poor capture at the hood, across grease gutters, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Tisman's Common, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tisman's Common.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tisman's Common
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Tisman's Common and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

When to call us in Tisman's Common
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Tisman's Common, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

Common questions in Tisman's Common
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Tisman's Common?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tisman's Common. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work overnight in Tisman's Common?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Tisman's Common can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
