Why deal with it now?
In Upper Beeding, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Canopy cleaning in Upper Beeding
If the canopy in Upper Beeding is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for filters that clog soon after cleaning and drips from the canopy onto the range, across baffle filters, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
Work in a small place like Upper Beeding starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Upper Beeding
Is Upper Beeding within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upper Beeding included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Upper Beeding?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Upper Beeding. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
What affects the quote in Upper Beeding
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Canopy cleaning around Upper Beeding
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Upper Beeding and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In Upper Beeding, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Upper Beeding 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Upper Beeding, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Portslade Manor, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Upper Beeding; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.

What else we do in Upper Beeding
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Upper Beeding, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
