About our canopy cleaning in Woodside Green
If the canopy in Woodside Green is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease channels that no longer drain and filters that never seem to stay clean, we can help, from canopy light fittings, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Woodside 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.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Woodside Green and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Canopy cleaning around Woodside Green
Look up Woodside Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Woodside Green. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Kitchens in Woodside Green get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Woodside Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Woodside Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Woodside Green.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woodside Green
In Woodside Green, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. Planning a trip to Woodside Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Common questions in Woodside Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Woodside Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Woodside Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work at weekends in Woodside Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Woodside Green needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Normally because the troughs or gutters are full, or the plenum is overloaded. With nowhere to collect, the grease overflows, and condensation can carry it too. A canopy clean sorts it out.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
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 nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Part by part
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
