How we handle canopy cleaning in Hearnden Green
We clean canopies in Hearnden Green when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you’re dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help.
In a small place like Hearnden 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Bent or broken filters
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extracts in Hearnden Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Hearnden Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Hearnden Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Hearnden Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. 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.
In and around Hearnden Green, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
Hearnden Green questions
Do you work in villages like Hearnden Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hearnden Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hearnden Green out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hearnden Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
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 tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Hearnden Green?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Somewhere like Hearnden Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Do you need canopy cleaning in Hearnden Green?
Any canopy in Hearnden Green that is used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A hood coated in old grease
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Poor capture at the hood
Historic houses near Hearnden Green, such as Leeds Castle about 4.1 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
