Canopy cleaning in Hamsey Green, done properly
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you have grease dripping from the canopy edge and a hood coated in old grease, we can put it right, from baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Hamsey Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show, so the finish matters. It’s degreased and photographed for your report.
Canopy cleaning around Hamsey Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 43 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hamsey Green. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Food hygiene inspections in Hamsey Green are the job of Croydon council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hamsey Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Warlingham Park Hospital about 1.4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hamsey Green Primary or anywhere near Hamsey Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hamsey Green
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- A hood coated in old grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Condensation running down the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hamsey Green (Addington Palace is about 2.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hamsey Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Questions from Hamsey Green
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hamsey Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Hamsey Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Hamsey Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Hamsey Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
