Canopy cleaning in Berry's Green
We clean canopies in Berry's Green when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. Typical jobs include greasy streaks across the canopy and a filter housing caked in grease, across wall canopies, plenum chambers and grease gutters.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Berry's Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Berry's Green kitchens: local notes
Look up Berry's Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Berry's Green. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Berry's Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. 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 London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Royal University Hospital about 3.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Berry's Green (Down House is about 1.3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cudham Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A light fitting that does not work
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Berry's Green.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How we price canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Berry's Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Berry's Green?
That is Bromley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Berry's Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What do you need to know about parking in Berry's Green?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Before and after pictures go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Why it’s worth doing now in Berry's Green
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
