FAQs for Breach
Can the work in Breach be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Breach can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Breach?
Yes, Breach is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that is where grease hides.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Canopy cleaning in Breach, done properly
For canopies and hoods in Breach, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. We’re often asked to deal with a filter housing caked in grease and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on grease gutters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings.
For a kitchen in or near Breach, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. It reflects how long the kitchen cooks and how much grease we removed, in line with BESA guidance.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Breach
Grease does not build up any differently in Breach: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor capture at the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A filter housing caked in grease
For kitchens in and around Breach, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Breach, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Why act early in Breach
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. A fault that closes a site in a village like Breach affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies

What affects the quote in Breach
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Kitchens in Breach get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
