About our canopy cleaning in Peene
For canopies and hoods in Peene, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. We are often asked to deal with a greasy hood noticed by an inspector and a hood coated in old grease, on wall canopies, grease gutters and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Peene, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that’s emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. In a place like Peene, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

When it’s something else
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’s a design question)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Peene
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Peene 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.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Peene
At about 2 miles from the coast, Peene is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways across Peene and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Peene. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cheriton Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Peene, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Acrise Place, about 2.7 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Peene; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

FAQs for Peene

Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Peene. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Peene?
Food hygiene inspections in Peene are carried out by Folkestone and Hythe council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What accreditations do you have?

Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
