When to call us in Loyterton
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, and the plenum behind them collects the rest.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Loyterton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How we handle canopy cleaning in Loyterton
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. The work covers grease gutters, plenum chambers and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are an EHO comment about the canopy and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
Somewhere as small as Loyterton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, 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.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
FAQs for Loyterton
Who inspects food businesses in Loyterton?
Food hygiene inspections in Loyterton are carried out by Swale council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Loyterton?
Loyterton is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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 do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
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 the report can go to both.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Visits to a village like Loyterton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.

- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
