Canopy cleaning in Broomhill
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and grease gutters, and people most often call us about greasy streaks across the canopy and an EHO comment about the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Broomhill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

What we’re called out for in Broomhill
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Martins Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broomhill, about 4.8 miles west.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
Leave it or put it right?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Somewhere as small as Broomhill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Broomhill questions
Who inspects food businesses in Broomhill?
The local authority for Broomhill is Dover 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.
Can a school canteen extract in Broomhill be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Broomhill. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
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, since that’s where grease hides.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
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. A thorough clean stops it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Kitchen extracts in Broomhill
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Broomhill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Fire safety in Broomhill falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Broomhill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Wingham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Broomhill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the quote in Broomhill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Visits to a village like Broomhill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
