Green Street Green questions

Do you work overnight in Green Street Green?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Green Street Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Green Street Green in the summer holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Green Street Green. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

How do you protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Where does the waste go?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

What accreditations do you have?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Canopy cleaning in Green Street Green, done properly

Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. What is not seen, behind the filters, tends to be worse. We clean both, so the canopy is clean where it shows and where it does not. The work covers wall canopies, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and common reasons people get in touch are overflowing grease troughs and gutters and a hood coated in old grease.

London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Green Street Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.

We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

How it works

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a job in Green Street Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.

  1. We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
  2. Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
  3. We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
  4. Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
  5. We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Ask for a quote

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Green Street Green kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 35 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 17 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Green Street Green. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. It’s Bromley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Green Street Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Green Street Green Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Green Street Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Leave it or put it right?

In Green Street Green, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. For a site in Green Street Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What we are called out for in Green Street Green

Filters that are missing, damaged or badly seated leave gaps. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Fat running down the front of the hood
  • A hood coated in old grease
  • Filters that clog soon after cleaning
  • A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection

If you cook for passing trade around Chelsfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What canopy cleaning cannot fix

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
  • Filters that no longer seal in the housing
  • Electrical faults in the canopy

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Where we work

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

What the work involves, part by part

Pub and hotel kitchens

A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.

Plenums and filter housings

Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
