How we handle canopy cleaning in Marshborough
If the canopy in Marshborough is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you will get a fixed price, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help, from island canopies, wall canopies and plenum chambers onwards.
In a small place like Marshborough, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Marshborough kitchens: local notes
Look up Marshborough on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways in and around Marshborough, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. In Marshborough, 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Marshborough falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
School kitchens, at schools like Sandwich Technology School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Marshborough, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Goodnestone Park, about 3.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Marshborough; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a village or hamlet like Marshborough, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

What affects the quote in Marshborough
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Marshborough: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Marshborough?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Marshborough. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Marshborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean all three and point out anything that is causing it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
