Kent · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Eastwood, Kent
Canopy cleaning for commercial sites in Eastwood and across Kent. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Condensation running down the canopy
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eastwood
If the canopy in Eastwood is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Eastwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have 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.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. If the system at a site near Eastwood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Eastwood kitchens: local notes
Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Eastwood. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eastwood. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Ulcombe Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Leeds Castle, about 3.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Eastwood; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Eastwood is about 7 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Whether your site is in the middle of Eastwood or further out, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Eastwood is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for canopy cleaning. Maidstone is in our area too, about 7 miles from Eastwood.
Work in ME17 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Neighbouring places we cover for canopy cleaning include Broadstone (1 mile south-east), Grafty Green (1 mile east), Ulcombe (1 mile north-west), Fairbourne Heath (1 mile north) and Liverton Street (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (7 miles north-west), Ashford (10 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north), Faversham (12 miles north-east), Kings Hill (12 miles north-west) and Davington (12 miles north-east).
Local landmarks in Eastwood
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Provender Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Harrietsham station, roughly 2.8 miles north of the centre. A little further out are The Dog Collar Museum (3.2 miles north-west) and Coldbridge Castle (1.6 miles east).
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Eastwood
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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 will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Eastwood
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eastwood?
Fire safety enforcement in Eastwood is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work in villages like Eastwood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eastwood is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Photos of the canopy and plenum before and after. The report includes a recommended next clean date.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Eastwood knowing what to expect.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
