About our canopy cleaning in Hammill Park
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that’s the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with a sticky, discoloured canopy and condensation running down the canopy, we can help, from wall canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Hammill Park, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Hammill Park
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Condensation and grease dripping together
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hammill Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Somewhere as small as Hammill Park, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Hammill Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hammill Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Hammill Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Hammill Park is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Eastry Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Hammill Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Goodnestone Park, about 2.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Hammill Park; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Hammill Park
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment 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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
Questions from Hammill Park
Do you cover smaller places like Hammill Park?
Yes. Hammill Park is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire authority looks after Hammill Park?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hammill Park. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by canopy cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Bent or broken filters
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
