About our canopy cleaning in Sellindge
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. Typical jobs include filters that clog soon after cleaning and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, on grease gutters, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
Work in a small place like Sellindge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Keep the fan on through service
- Check all filters are fitted before service
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after pictures speak for themselves.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Bent or broken filters
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Sellindge
Can you come to Sellindge after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Sellindge needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Sellindge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Sellindge is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, 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.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Sellindge can be planned properly.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What else we do in Sellindge
Kitchen extracts in Sellindge
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Sellindge. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Sellindge is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Sellindge get their food hygiene inspections from Folkestone and Hythe council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Sellindge Primary School or anywhere near Sellindge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; William Harvey Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sellindge, about 4.7 miles north-west.

What happens if it’s left?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. With notice, the visit to Sellindge can be fitted around your bookings and events.
