Common questions in Goodley Stock
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Goodley Stock?
The local authority for Goodley Stock is Sevenoaks council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire authority looks after Goodley Stock?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Goodley Stock. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view so a clean, even finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Goodley Stock
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Goodley Stock, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Canopy cleaning around Goodley Stock
Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Goodley Stock. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. At about 19 miles from central London, Goodley Stock sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chartwell is about 1 mile east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Goodley Stock, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tandridge Priory is the nearest hospital to Goodley Stock, about 1.5 miles north-west.

What else we do in Goodley Stock
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. 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. If the system at a site near Goodley Stock fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
