Part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
Canopy cleaning in Bromley Green, done properly
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. What isn’t seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about filters that never seem to stay clean and grease channels that no longer drain.
In a village or hamlet like Bromley Green, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Bromley Green
Food hygiene inspections in Bromley Green are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Bromley Green is Kent 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.
Godinton House, about 4.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Bromley Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Wallis Academy or anywhere near Bromley Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Why deal with it now?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. In a place like Bromley Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Bromley Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
When to call us in Bromley Green
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as William Harvey Hospital (about 4.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Bromley Green: your questions answered
Is Bromley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Bromley Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Bromley Green?
The local authority for Bromley Green is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
