Canopy cleaning in Bossingham
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it doesn’t. Common call-outs are for smoke hanging around the canopy during service and a hood coated in old grease, across wall canopies, canopy light fittings and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Bossingham, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bossingham
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bossingham affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Common questions in Bossingham
Do you cover smaller places like Bossingham?
Yes, Bossingham is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bossingham?
Fire safety enforcement in Bossingham is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them because that is often the dirtiest part.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Canopy cleaning around Bossingham
Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Bossingham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. We cover Bossingham, about 55 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Bossingham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bossingham is Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 4.7 miles north.

When to call us in Bossingham
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
For schools such as Stelling Minnis Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bossingham
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bossingham and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Clean the baffle filters often
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. The timing of a visit to Bossingham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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 the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
