About our canopy cleaning in Silver Hill
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you’re dealing with a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and wet, greasy drips from the hood, we can put it right, from island canopies, plenum chambers and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Silver Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: 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.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Silver Hill
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Common problems we fix in Silver Hill
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A hood coated in old grease
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital about 4.4 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote

- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
The process
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. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Silver Hill.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Why it’s worth doing now in Silver Hill
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Silver Hill questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Silver Hill?
That is Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Silver Hill. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Silver Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Silver Hill is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes a few hours for most canopies. Your quote will give a time.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, then clean and refit them. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Silver Hill kitchens: local notes
We cover Silver Hill, about 42 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Silver Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Silver Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
