Canopy Cleaning in Deal
Canopy cleaning for Deal, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. Sites in a town like Deal rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
We don’t 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 start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

About our canopy cleaning in Deal
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have a sticky, discoloured canopy and wet, greasy drips from the hood, we can help.
Most kitchens in a town like Deal cannot close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Deal
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
FAQs for Deal
Which fire authority looks after Deal?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Deal. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Deal after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Deal can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
How much notice should we give?
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.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Deal?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Other services in Deal
When to call us in Deal
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Walmer Castle is about 1.2 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Deal
The coast is only about 1 mile from Deal. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 34 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in Deal and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Deal. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Castle Community College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A kitchen near Deal station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What your team can do, and what needs 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Deal
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
