Canopy cleaning in Edmonton, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include a sticky, discoloured canopy and filters that never seem to stay clean, on wall canopies, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
Kitchens in Edmonton, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Edmonton: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Edmonton be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 43 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Edmonton. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Edmonton?
Fire safety enforcement in Edmonton is handled by London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
How long is a canopy clean?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Grease, kitchens and Edmonton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 29 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Edmonton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Edmonton is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Edmonton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Edmonton Green station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as North Middlesex University Hospital (about 1 mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Edmonton, we can take on canopy cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots. London is in our area too, about 9 miles from Edmonton.
All of N9, N18, N13 and EN1 is within our area for canopy cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Streets in the area include The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road, all of which we cover for canopy cleaning.

Around Edmonton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to NiW Furniture pub, The Latymer School and Starks Field School. There’s a railway station in Edmonton itself: Edmonton Green station. Nearby you’ll also find Edmonton Green Shopping Centre (less than half a mile north-east) and North Middlesex University Hospital (1 mile south-west). For a walk, there’s Highams Park Lake and Ainslie Wood.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Edmonton needs from us.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- A light fitting that does not work
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What happens if it’s left?
In Edmonton, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. A busy site in Edmonton builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
