How we handle canopy cleaning in Wisborough Green
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and plenum chambers, and common reasons people get in touch are overflowing grease troughs and gutters and a sticky, discoloured canopy.
Somewhere as small as Wisborough Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wisborough Green run smoothly.
- 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 pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What a clean won’t put right

- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the quote in Wisborough Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Wisborough Green?
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Place Manor is about 4.4 miles south), access may need planning.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Canopy cleaning in Wisborough Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Wisborough Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Food hygiene inspections in Wisborough Green are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Wisborough Green falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wisborough Green Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula or elsewhere in Wisborough Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
Questions from Wisborough Green

Yes. Wisborough Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean when you’re not cooking, so service is not affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You’ll know before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
