Kent · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy Cleaning in Perrywood
Canopy cleaning for Perrywood, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Poor capture at the hood
Why act early in Perrywood
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. In a place like Perrywood, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Canopy cleaning in Perrywood, done properly
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and island canopies, and people most often call us about a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and drips from the canopy onto the range.
In a village or hamlet like Perrywood, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
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.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
The process
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, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. The timing of a visit to Perrywood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Perrywood questions
Can the work in Perrywood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can a school canteen extract in Perrywood be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Perrywood, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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, which applies in England and Wales.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Canopy cleaning in Perrywood: the local picture
Perrywood is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Perrywood are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Belmont House and Gardens is about 3.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Perrywood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Selling Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the quote in Perrywood
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
