Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadfields Estate
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will get a fixed price, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and smoke hanging around the canopy during service, across baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
In a London area like Broadfields Estate, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. That is a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Grease troughs and gutters
A blocked or full trough is the usual cause of grease dripping from the canopy. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the quote in Broadfields Estate
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common problems we fix in Broadfields Estate
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- An EHO comment about the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rosh Pinah Primary School or anywhere near Broadfields Estate, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In Broadfields Estate, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

Kitchen extracts in Broadfields Estate
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadfields Estate. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. In Broadfields Estate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barnet council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Where a hall near St Andrew, or anywhere in Broadfields Estate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (about 1.4 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Broadfields Estate needs from us.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready 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
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Questions from Broadfields Estate
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Broadfields Estate?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Broadfields Estate. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Broadfields Estate during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 21 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broadfields Estate. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before we start.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Broadfields Estate?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
