Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 is our job.

What affects the quote in Pett Bottom
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
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.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Pett Bottom
For a kitchen in Pett Bottom, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Pett Bottom: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Pett Bottom?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Pett Bottom. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Is Pett Bottom within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pett Bottom is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Most drips come from overflowing troughs, damaged filters or a plenum thick with grease. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, 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.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Keep the fan on through service
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, we empty and clean that as well, and we’ll show staff where it is.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Pett Bottom.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
