- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Common problems we fix in Parker's Green
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
School kitchens, at schools like Woodlands Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the price is fixed
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Parker's Green
For canopies and hoods in Parker's Green, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. You get photos of the canopy before and after. If you are dealing with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
Why it’s worth doing now in Parker's Green
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with photos after each visit
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Parker's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Parker's Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
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, before we start.
Questions from Parker's Green
Do you cover smaller places like Parker's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Parker's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Parker's Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What paperwork do I get after a 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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that is often the dirtiest part.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Canopy cleaning around Parker's Green
There are about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways in and around Parker's Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. In Parker's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Parker's Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew or elsewhere in Parker's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tonbridge Cottage Hospital about 2.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
