Canopy cleaning in Romney Street, done properly
We clean canopies in Romney Street when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. The work covers canopy light fittings, wall canopies and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the front of the hood and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Questions from Romney Street
Which council inspects kitchens in Romney Street?
Kitchens in Romney Street are inspected by Sevenoaks council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Romney Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Romney Street included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Romney Street
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Romney Street and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Romney Street
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Grease, kitchens and Romney Street
It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Romney Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Romney Street is about 18 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Romney Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Romney Street (Lullingstone Castle is about 2.3 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Sevenoaks Hospital is the nearest hospital to Romney Street, about 3.3 miles south-west.
Romney Street is about 4 miles north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. If you need canopy cleaning in Romney Street, please call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Romney Street run smoothly.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
