- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Canopy cleaning in Bexleyheath, done properly
Think of the canopy as the mouth of the extract. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation running down the canopy and overflowing grease troughs and gutters.
Kitchens in Bexleyheath, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we are called out for in Bexleyheath
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Poor capture at the hood
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Grease channels that no longer drain
Church and community hall kitchens, near Trinity Baptist Church or anywhere around Bexleyheath, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Kitchen extracts in Bexleyheath
Food Standards Agency records include about 58 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bexleyheath. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Bexleyheath sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like Upland Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Bexleyheath station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
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.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In Bexleyheath, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice

- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Bexleyheath questions
Is parking a problem for work in Bexleyheath?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you work overnight in Bexleyheath?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Bexleyheath can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Bexleyheath?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you cover Bexleyheath?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bexleyheath.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
