Greater London · Canopy and hood cleaning
Haverstock canopy cleaning
Canopy cleaning for Haverstock, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
How we handle canopy cleaning in Haverstock
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Common call-outs are for a filter housing caked in grease and greasy streaks across the canopy, across plenum chambers, baffle filters and wall canopies.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Haverstock is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Haverstock
Getting the canopy cleaned in Haverstock now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. It’s better booked as a planned job in Haverstock than handled as an emergency.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a job in Haverstock, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Bent or broken filters
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Haverstock
Food Standards Agency data counts about 749 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 325 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Haverstock, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. The fire and rescue service for Haverstock is 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. Food hygiene inspections in Haverstock are the job of Camden council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Fine Arts College, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wellington Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to South Hampstead station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Haverstock is about 1 mile south-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. From the centre of Haverstock to the outskirts, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Haverstock is one of them.
Canopy cleaning in NW3, NW5 and NW1 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need canopy cleaning at premises on Eton Road, Lawn Road and Ornan Road or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Nearby, we also carry out canopy cleaning in Belsize Park (1 mile north), Primrose Hill (1 mile south), South Hampstead (1 mile west), Swiss Cottage (1 mile west) and Chalk Farm (1 mile east). Within a short drive, we also cover London (4 miles south-east), Kensington (4 miles south-west), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles east) and Whitechapel (4 miles south-east).
Around Haverstock
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Cecil Sharp House, Primrose Hill and St. Mary's Town and Country School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include St Paul's Church of England Primary School (less than half a mile south) and The Washington pub (under half a mile north). The nearest railway station is South Hampstead station, about 0.7 miles west. Nearby you’ll also find Wellington Hospital (0.9 miles south-west) and Isokon Gallery (0.5 miles north). For a walk, there’s Adelaide Nature Reserve and Primrose Hill.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
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.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Haverstock: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Haverstock?
Haverstock is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Haverstock in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 71 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Haverstock. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you work in Haverstock?
Yes. We cover Haverstock and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Haverstock

- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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 will get one fixed quote.

- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
