About our canopy cleaning in Sheerness
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include smoke hanging around the canopy during service and condensation running down the canopy, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and island canopies.
Around a smaller place like Sheerness, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Sheerness
A canopy in Sheerness 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.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Condensation and grease dripping together
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rose Street Primary School or anywhere near Sheerness, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

FAQs for Sheerness
Can school kitchens in Sheerness be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 13 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Sheerness, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you cover smaller places like Sheerness?
Yes, Sheerness is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Part by part
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Leave it or put it right?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. In a smaller place like Sheerness, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What you get with us
- Every job surveyed first
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A written report with photos after every visit

Grease, kitchens and Sheerness
The coast is only about 1 mile from Sheerness. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Sheerness on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Sheerness. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Sheerness is covered by 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Sheerness, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Commuter trade near Sheerness-On-Sea station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Sheerness.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
