Canopy Cleaning in Hornsey

Kitchen extracts in Hornsey

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 59 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hornsey. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Hornsey. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.

A kitchen near Hornsey station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hornsey Central Hospital (about 0.7 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Hornsey, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What staff can safely do

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

What the work involves, part by part

Wall canopies

Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.

School and staff canteen kitchens

A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hornsey

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
