About our canopy cleaning in Lee Common
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan are not included, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with condensation running down the canopy and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can put it right.
In a small place like Lee Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lee Common Church of England School or anywhere near Lee Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Cholesbury Manor House, about 2.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Lee Common; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near St Mary's, or anywhere in Lee Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Never run the range with a filter out
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Where only the canopy is done, the report says so clearly.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.

How the job changes from site to site
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. That’s a lot of grease on the canopy, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
FAQs for Lee Common
Will you come out to Lee Common?
Yes. Lee Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can school kitchens in Lee Common be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Lee Common. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Lee Common are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How we price canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Why act early in Lee Common
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Lee Common now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
