Canopy cleaning in Adisham, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, 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. We are often asked to deal with condensation running down the canopy and poor capture at the hood, across baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
In a village or hamlet like Adisham, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Adisham
Adisham questions
Will you come out to Adisham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Adisham included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can a school canteen extract in Adisham be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Adisham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Your quote will give a time.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Adisham.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Canopy cleaning around Adisham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways across Adisham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Kitchens in Adisham get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Adisham is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Adisham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Martins Hospital about 4.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Adisham is about 5 miles south-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Adisham, canopy cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Adisham is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 29 miles away.
We cover every part of CT3 for canopy cleaning and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Station Road, The Street and Church Lane, all of which we cover for canopy cleaning. Neighbouring places we cover for canopy cleaning include Bloodden (1 mile south-east), Aylesham (1 mile south), Bramling (2 miles north), Bekesbourne (2 miles north-west) and Womenswold (2 miles south). Larger places within reach include Canterbury (5 miles north-west), Margate (13 miles north-east), Dover (9 miles south-east), Folkestone (11 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
What’s near Adisham
There’s a railway station in Adisham itself: Adisham station. Well-known places in the area include St Martins Hospital (4.3 miles north-west).
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

When to call us in Adisham
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
For kitchens close to Adisham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
