Canopy cleaning in Newenden
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 aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include a sticky, discoloured canopy and canopy gutters full of old fat, across grease gutters, island canopies and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Newenden starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Newenden
Can the work in Newenden be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Newenden needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Newenden?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Newenden. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Are the filters cleaned too?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, then clean and refit them. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Newenden and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Visits to a village like Newenden are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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 pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Kitchen extracts in Newenden
At about 45 miles from central London, Newenden sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Newenden sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Benenden Hospital, about 4.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Peter or anywhere around Newenden, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we are called out for in Newenden
Grease doesn’t build up any differently in Newenden: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- A filter housing caked in grease
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A hood coated in old grease
Great Dixter, about 1.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Newenden; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
