Part by part
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
About our canopy cleaning in Crockhurst Street
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the front of the hood and grease channels that no longer drain.
Work in a small place like Crockhurst Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Crockhurst Street and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Crockhurst Street.
- 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 photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What affects the quote in Crockhurst Street
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Why act early in Crockhurst Street
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Planning a trip to Crockhurst Street ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Questions from Crockhurst Street
Can a school canteen extract in Crockhurst Street be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Crockhurst Street. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Crockhurst Street?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Crockhurst Street

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Crockhurst Street is about 29 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
