Different parts, different methods

Canopy filter housings

Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.

The plenum

Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.

Hoppers Corner kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Hoppers Corner and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Hoppers Corner is covered by 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. In Hoppers Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

If you cook for passing trade around East Farleigh station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. School kitchens, at schools like Barming Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
