Canopy cleaning in Pearson's Green
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. The work covers canopy light fittings, island canopies and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are wet, greasy drips from the hood and a hood coated in old grease.
In a village or hamlet like Pearson's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Pearson's Green questions
Do you work at weekends in Pearson's Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Pearson's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Pearson's Green are carried out by Tunbridge Wells council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is Pearson's Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Pearson's Green and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Pearson's Green
Look up Pearson's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pearson's Green. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In Pearson's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Pearson's Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Pearson's Green (Scotney Castle is about 5 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital about 5.1 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Mascalls School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, which means grease settles on all four sides. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Pearson's Green can be planned properly.
- 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

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something 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 give you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
