What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Rodmersham Green.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading

Canopy cleaning in Rodmersham Green
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you’re dealing with overflowing grease troughs and gutters and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can put it right, from grease gutters, island canopies and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Rodmersham Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from Rodmersham Green
Which environmental health team covers Rodmersham Green?
That’s Swale council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rodmersham Green. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Rodmersham Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Rodmersham Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. We will tell you what to expect.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Rodmersham Green
A canopy in Rodmersham Green picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: the hours and the type of cooking decide how fast. High-heat cooking coats it fastest.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Condensation running down the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Rodmersham Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Rodmersham Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs and bars registered in and around Rodmersham Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rodmersham Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Rodmersham Green falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Rodmersham School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
