About our canopy cleaning in Wingham Well
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. The work covers island canopies, canopy light fittings and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the front of the hood and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Work in a small place like Wingham Well starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Common questions in Wingham Well
Do you work overnight in Wingham Well?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Wingham Well needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Wingham Well?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wingham Well included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When to call us in Wingham Well
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wingham Well (Goodnestone Park is about 1.8 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with pictures for each.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Wingham Well now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wingham Well is calmer for everyone.
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.

The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. The timing of a visit to Wingham Well is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
