About our canopy cleaning in Nash Street
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we’ll be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include greasy streaks across the canopy and grease dripping from the canopy edge, on canopy light fittings, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Nash Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
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. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nash Street run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Why act early in Nash Street
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Nash Street is calmer for everyone.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Trading since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease, kitchens and Nash Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in Nash Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in Nash Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Nash Street falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
School kitchens, at schools like Istead Rise Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mildred or anywhere around Nash Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Nash Street
Do you cover smaller places like Nash Street?
Yes, Nash Street is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Nash Street out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Nash Street. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before work begins.
Do you need canopy cleaning in Nash Street?
However carefully a kitchen in Nash Street is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease filters blocking between washes
A kitchen near Meopham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
