How we handle canopy cleaning in Farleigh Green
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. The work covers wall canopies, island canopies and grease gutters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease channels that no longer drain and fat running down the front of the hood.
In a small place like Farleigh Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Grease troughs and gutters
Where a trough drains into a grease cup, we empty and clean that as well, and we will show staff where it is.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Bent or broken filters
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. A fault that closes a site in a village like Farleigh Green affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
If you need canopy cleaning in Farleigh Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Farleigh Green: your questions answered
Is Farleigh Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Farleigh Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Farleigh Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Farleigh Green?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
For schools such as East Farleigh Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Grease, kitchens and Farleigh Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Farleigh Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Farleigh Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Farleigh Green are the job of Maidstone council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Oakwood Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Farleigh Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Farleigh Green is about 3 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent. Sites in Farleigh Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Farleigh Green is one of them.
