Canopy cleaning in Lamberhurst
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include a hood coated in old grease and fat running down the front of the hood, across canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Lamberhurst, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Lamberhurst: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Lamberhurst?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Lamberhurst after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Lamberhurst doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included, since that’s where grease hides.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Lamberhurst
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lamberhurst. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Food hygiene inspections in Lamberhurst are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Lamberhurst. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Lamberhurst, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lamberhurst is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 3.5 miles south.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Lamberhurst.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Why act early in Lamberhurst
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Photo reports with every job
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Lamberhurst
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Smoke hanging around the canopy during service
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Scotney Castle is about 0.9 miles south-east), access may need planning.

What affects the quote in Lamberhurst
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
