How we handle canopy cleaning in Mud Row
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are drips from the canopy onto the range and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
In a small place like Mud Row, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mud Row now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Mud Row?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Mud Row, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include

How we price canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Mud Row knowing what to expect.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Canopy cleaning around Mud Row
At about 1 mile from the coast, Mud Row is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mud Row. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Mud Row. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Eastchurch Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
