Canopy cleaning for sites in Brunswick Park

Questions from Brunswick Park

Can a school canteen extract in Brunswick Park be done out of term time?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 55 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Brunswick Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.

Can parking be tricky for a job in Brunswick Park?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?

A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.

Why does grease run off the canopy edge?

A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.

Are you accredited?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Do you work in Brunswick Park?

Yes. We work in Brunswick Park and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What types of premises do you cover?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?

The clean is done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The range must be switched off and cooled first.

Canopy cleaning in Brunswick Park

Every canopy we clean in Brunswick Park gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and grease dripping from the canopy edge, across island canopies, baffle filters and grease gutters.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Brunswick Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.

The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

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.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Filters that no longer seal in the housing
  • A hood that does not cover the cooking line
  • Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

What the work covers

  • Baffle filters
  • Island canopies
  • Wall canopies
  • Grease gutters
  • Plenum chambers
  • Canopy light fittings

Canopy cleaning in Brunswick Park: the local picture

The Food Standards Agency lists about 36 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brunswick Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. In Brunswick Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barnet council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

School kitchens, at schools like St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coppetts Wood Hospital about 1.7 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around New Southgate station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Looking after it afterwards

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Empty the grease troughs before they fill
  • Report new drips or smells from the canopy
  • Leave the extract running until cooking stops
  • Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools

We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. We keep it to what matters.

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. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

How the job changes from site to site

Plenums and filter housings

Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.

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.

How we price canopy cleaning

You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What happens on the day

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Brunswick Park is normally out of hours.

  1. First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
  2. The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
  3. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
  4. We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
  5. Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, 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 we start.
