How we handle canopy cleaning in Bexon
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers island canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are grease filters blocking between washes and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Bexon, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bexon
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Bexon kitchens: local notes
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bexon, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Food hygiene inspections in Bexon are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Bexon falls to 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Bexon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common problems we fix in Bexon
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Bexon: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
For schools such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

FAQs for Bexon
Do you work overnight in Bexon?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bexon does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bexon?
Bexon is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bexon before we set off.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Why act early in Bexon
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. In a place like Bexon, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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’ll get one fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
What else we do in Bexon
Different parts, different methods
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
