Canopy and hood cleaning in Bromley, Greater London
Deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out in Bromley, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation and grease dripping together
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that’s cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bromley
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you have filters that never seem to stay clean and a sticky, discoloured canopy, we can help, from canopy light fittings, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
In a London area like Bromley, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Canopy cleaning in Bromley: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 67 pubs, bars and clubs and about 15 hotels and B&Bs in Bromley 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. London Fire Brigade covers Bromley. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Bow Church, or anywhere in Bromley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Clement's Hospital (about 0.5 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Bromley is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Sites in Bromley get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots.
Canopy cleaning in E3, E14 and E15 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Canopy cleaning is available to premises on Bow Road, Bruce Road and Edgar Road and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Bromley: Three Mills (1 mile north-east), Mill Meads (1 mile north-east), Bow Common (1 mile south-west), Mile End (1 mile west) and Bow (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include London (4 miles south-west), City of Westminster (6 miles west), Marylebone (6 miles west), Kensington (8 miles west), St Pancras (4 miles west) and Shoreditch (3 miles west).

Do you need canopy cleaning in Bromley?
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
School kitchens, at schools like St Agnes RC Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Bromley needs from us.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common questions in Bromley
Is parking a problem for work in Bromley?
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 clean school canteen extracts around Bromley out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 70 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bromley. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
