Common questions in Silver Street
Can the work in Silver Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Silver Street keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can school kitchens in Silver Street be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Silver Street, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
About our canopy cleaning in Silver Street
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you have filters that never seem to stay clean and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help, from grease gutters, canopy light fittings and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Silver Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Silver Street?
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Silver Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Clean the baffle filters often
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Silver Street, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Silver Street kitchens: local notes
Look up Silver Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Silver Street. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Silver Street sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Silver Street get their food hygiene inspections from Swale council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. A planned visit to Silver Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
