FAQs for Bexley
Can school kitchens in Bexley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 26 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bexley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
How do you handle parking and loading in Bexley?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bexley makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
The whole canopy, inside and out. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that is where grease hides.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
When do you clean the canopy?
Only while we are working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. Each one is cleaned inside and out, with the plenum behind the filters.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bexley
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 details by email, and you will get a fixed price, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for fat running down the front of the hood and canopy gutters full of old fat, on wall canopies, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Bexley is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Bexley
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Never run the range with a filter out
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. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
When to call us in Bexley
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
If you run a café or takeaway near Bexley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something 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 send you a fixed quote.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Bexley
The FSA’s data shows about 52 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered in Bexley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Fire safety in Bexley falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Bexley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Bexley Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most canopies. In Bexley, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and pictures are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
