The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Somewhere as small as Stone in Oxney, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Stone in Oxney
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. We are often asked to deal with poor capture at the hood and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on baffle filters, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Stone in Oxney, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Stone in Oxney
Can you get to a site in Stone in Oxney?
Yes, Stone in Oxney is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work overnight in Stone in Oxney?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Stone in Oxney does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
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.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What affects the quote in Stone in Oxney
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

It’s Ashford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stone in Oxney. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Stone in Oxney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Smallhythe Place is about 3.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stone in Oxney and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Keep the fan on through service
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
A before and after photo report follows the clean. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
