- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line

Canopy cleaning in Broom Hill
If the canopy in Broom Hill is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are condensation running down the canopy and filters that clog soon after cleaning.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Broom Hill 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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why deal with it now?
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. A building in Broom Hill may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Every job surveyed first
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Broom Hill.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Canopy cleaning around Broom Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Broom Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. London Fire Brigade covers Broom Hill. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Orpington station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broom Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Orpington Hospital about 1.3 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Broom Hill is about 1 mile south-west of Orpington, in Greater London. From the centre of Broom Hill to the outskirts, we cover canopy cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Broom Hill is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London where we work for commercial clients. London is in our area too, about 12 miles from Broom Hill.
Canopy cleaning in BR6 and BR5 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include New Road, Irene Road and Sandy Lane, and we cover them all for canopy cleaning.

How the job changes from site to site
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Broom Hill questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Broom Hill during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Broom Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broom Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Broom Hill are carried out by Bromley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
