Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Canopy cleaning in Mundy Bois
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. Our diagnosis starts there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers wall canopies, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and the jobs we see most are canopy gutters full of old fat and wet, greasy drips from the hood.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Mundy Bois kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Mundy Bois are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Mundy Bois is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Mundy Bois, such as Godinton House about 5 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mundy Bois.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
When to call us in Mundy Bois
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Poor capture at the hood
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Mundy Bois, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Why act early in Mundy Bois
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Mundy Bois is calmer for everyone.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one 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:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Questions from Mundy Bois
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mundy Bois?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Mundy Bois?
Yes, Mundy Bois is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, listing what was cleaned. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
