Canopy and hood cleaning in Clapham, Greater London

How the job changes from site to site

Grease troughs and gutters

Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. We empty and degrease them, so they can do their job again.

Wall canopies

At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Clapham

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.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Canopy cleaning around Clapham

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 757 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 239 takeaways in Clapham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In Clapham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lambeth council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. London Fire Brigade covers Clapham. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Clapham is Battersea General Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west. School kitchens, at schools like Clapham Manor Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Clapham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
