When to call us in Stonestreet Green
However carefully a kitchen in Stonestreet Green is run, the canopy still collects grease. It’s fuel, sitting directly over the burners, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Fat running down the front of the hood
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Martin or anywhere around Stonestreet Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Canopy cleaning in Stonestreet Green, done properly
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. The work covers grease gutters, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings, and people most often call us about grease channels that no longer drain and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector.
Work in a small place like Stonestreet Green 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Clean the baffle filters often
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Stonestreet Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Stonestreet Green. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In Stonestreet Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Stonestreet Green falls to 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.
Westenhanger Castle, about 3.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Stonestreet Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Aldington Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Stonestreet Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work

FAQs for Stonestreet Green
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stonestreet Green?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stonestreet Green?
The local authority for Stonestreet Green is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Stonestreet Green?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Stonestreet Green now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Planning a trip to Stonestreet Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
