Canopy cleaning in Tower Hill, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and grease gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are a hood coated in old grease and condensation running down the canopy.
In a small place like Tower Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Tower Hill
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tower Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Tower Hill is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tower Hill?
The local authority for Tower Hill is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You’ll know before any work starts.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and Tower Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 17 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tower Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Tower Hill is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tower Hill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 1.3 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Tower Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When to call us in Tower Hill
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Condensation running down the canopy
A kitchen near Christs Hospital station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Tower Hill
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Tower Hill and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep the fan on through service
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
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.
