About our canopy cleaning in Leyton
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. A dirty canopy passes more grease further into the system. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can put it right.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Leyton, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Questions from Leyton
Do you work at weekends in Leyton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does London parking affect a job in Leyton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
How we price canopy cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Leyton.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchen extracts in Leyton
Food Standards Agency records list about 379 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 173 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Leyton. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Leyton sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Dawlish Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christian Hope Ministries International or elsewhere in Leyton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you cook for passing trade around Leyton Midland Road station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Part by part
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. In Leyton, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
