About our canopy cleaning in Cramhurst
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and grease gutters, and people most often call us about a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection.
In a village or hamlet like Cramhurst, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why act early in Cramhurst
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. In a place like Cramhurst, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
How we price canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Questions from Cramhurst
Will you come out to Cramhurst?
Yes. Cramhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Cramhurst?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cramhurst, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
