Canopy cleaning in Egerton
For canopies and hoods in Egerton, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after pictures go into your report. If you’re dealing with fat running down the front of the hood and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help, from wall canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Egerton?
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Poor capture at the hood
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Egerton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include

- What insurance they carry
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Egerton.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Why act early in Egerton
Getting the canopy cleaned in Egerton now saves a bigger job later. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. If the system at a site near Egerton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Trading since 2009
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What a clean will not put right
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Bent or broken filters
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Egerton
Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Egerton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Egerton. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Egerton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Egerton: your questions answered
Is Egerton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Egerton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Egerton?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Egerton. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
