About our canopy cleaning in Bishopsgate
Every canopy we clean in Bishopsgate gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy edge and an EHO comment about the canopy, on canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Bishopsgate, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Bishopsgate
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Canopy cleaning around Bishopsgate
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bishopsgate. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bishopsgate. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Bishopsgate is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Royal Chapel of All Saints, or anywhere in Bishopsgate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John's Beaumont School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Frogmore House, about 2.5 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Bishopsgate; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Bishopsgate
Which fire service covers Bishopsgate?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bishopsgate. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can school kitchens in Bishopsgate be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 17 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bishopsgate. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bishopsgate.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. It’s simpler to plan the work at Bishopsgate now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after every visit

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, 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. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
