About our canopy cleaning in Broomfield
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you’ll get a fixed price, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a hood coated in old grease, on wall canopies, canopy light fittings and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Broomfield, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
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.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Broomfield
Do you work in villages like Broomfield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broomfield included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Broomfield?
Broomfield is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
When do you clean the canopy?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens do not lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Broomfield?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Canopy cleaning around Broomfield
Broomfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 27 pubs and bars in Broomfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Broomfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Broomfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital about 4.4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Herne Church of England Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Broomfield is about 1 mile south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Across the CT6 area, we can take on canopy cleaning. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Broomfield is one of them. You can also see our page for Maidstone, roughly 28 miles from Broomfield.
Canopy cleaning in CT6 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You will find streets such as Barley Close, The Meadows and Ladyfields, all of which we cover for canopy cleaning. We also cover Hunters Forstal (1 mile west), Herne (1 mile south-west), Hillborough (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile south-east) and Hawthorn (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (6 miles south-west), Margate (10 miles east), Ramsgate (11 miles east), Broadstairs (12 miles east), Whitstable (5 miles west) and Deal (14 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in Broomfield
Typical jobs here are in premises near Curtis Wood, The Huntsman And Horn Public House and Herne Bay High School and the streets around them. The closest station to Broomfield is Herne Bay station, roughly 1.5 miles west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (4.4 miles west). Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Broomfield can be planned properly.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
