Canopy cleaning in Yopps Green
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers, and people most often call us about condensation and grease dripping together and an EHO comment about the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Yopps Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Yopps Green
Which environmental health team covers Yopps Green?
In Yopps Green, it’s Tonbridge and Malling council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Yopps Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Yopps Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. 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.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

Kitchen extracts in Yopps Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Yopps Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Yopps Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Yopps Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Sevenoaks Hospital is the nearest hospital to Yopps Green, about 4.6 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Plaxtol Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Yopps Green (Old Soar Manor is about 1.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Yopps Green is about 5 miles north of Tonbridge, in Kent. Whatever kind of site you run in Yopps Green, we can take on canopy cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted.

Canopy cleaning in TN15 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Sheet Hill and Yopps Green or anywhere close by, we can help. Nearby, we also carry out canopy cleaning in Sheet Hill (1 mile north-west), Ivy Hatch (1 mile west), Ightham (1 mile north-west), Shipbourne (1 mile south) and Oldbury (2 miles north-west).

Around Yopps Green
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve, Wrotham School and The Plough Public House and the streets around them. The closest station to Yopps Green is Borough Green & Wrotham station, about 2 miles north of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Ightham Court (2.1 miles north) and Sevenoaks Hospital (4.6 miles west).
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Yopps Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Drips from a dirty canopy land on the cooking line. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Somewhere as small as Yopps Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why Yopps Green businesses choose us
- A written report with pictures after each visit

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
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, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
