How we handle canopy cleaning in New Street
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include filters that clog soon after cleaning and fat running down the front of the hood, across wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
Work in a small place like New Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to New Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
New Street kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Street. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in New Street. 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. New Street sits within the area of 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Saint Peter or elsewhere in New Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cobham College is about 3.6 miles north-east), access may need planning.
New Street is about 6 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. For canopy cleaning in and around New Street, please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in New Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

What else we do in New Street
Do you need canopy cleaning in New Street?
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A hood coated in old grease
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
For schools such as Culverstone Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Common questions in New Street
Who inspects food businesses in New Street?
That’s Gravesham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in New Street. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can a school canteen extract in New Street be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of New Street. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
