Foley Park canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning for Foley Park, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Poor capture at the hood
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
When to call us in Foley Park
Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor capture at the hood
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 1.1 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Canopy cleaning in Foley Park
We clean canopies in Foley Park when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy streaks across the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
In a smaller place like Foley Park, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Foley Park: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Foley Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Foley Park are carried out by Maidstone council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in villages like Foley Park?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Foley Park included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
How long is a canopy clean?
That depends on the size of the canopy and how much grease is on it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Everything the job in Foley Park needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.

- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.

Why act early in Foley Park
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Around Foley Park, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:

- Problems your staff have spotted

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. We clean them so the filters sit tight and leave no gaps.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
