About our canopy cleaning in East Street
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers island canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are a filter housing caked in grease and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
Work in a small place like East Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. For a village or hamlet like East Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near East Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

What else we do in East Street
Canopy cleaning around East Street
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs and bars registered across East Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in East Street are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers East Street. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to East Street is Ramsgate General Hospital, about 5.7 miles north-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in East Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sandwich Technology School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
East Street is about 6 miles north-west of Deal, in Kent. Sites in East Street get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent, large and small. We also work in Maidstone, around 34 miles away.

Around East Street
For rail, the closest station is Sandwich station, about 1.8 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are White Mill (1.1 miles east) and Ramsgate General Hospital (5.7 miles north-east). Not far away are Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Bent or broken filters
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

FAQs for East Street
Who is the fire and rescue service for East Street?
Fire safety enforcement in East Street is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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 clean school kitchen extracts in East Street during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of East Street. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you cover East Street?
Yes. Our technicians work in East Street, within the South East and London area we cover.
