What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Warnham
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Common call-outs are for a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on island canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings.
In a village or hamlet like Warnham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Common questions in Warnham
Can you get to a site in Warnham?
Yes, Warnham is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Warnham after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

Canopy cleaning in Warnham: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Warnham. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Warnham get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Warnham falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Warnham CofE Primary School or anywhere near Warnham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Warnham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horsham Hospital (about 1.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work 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 Warnham.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Warnham and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Canopy light fittings
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Somewhere as small as Warnham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
