Canopy cleaning in Loughborough Junction
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include drips from the canopy onto the range and a sticky, discoloured canopy, across island canopies, grease gutters and plenum chambers.
Kitchens in Loughborough Junction, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Loughborough Junction saves time on the night.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Kitchen extracts in Loughborough Junction
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 630 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 326 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Loughborough Junction, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. In Loughborough Junction, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lambeth council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Matthew's Camberwell or anywhere around Loughborough Junction, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like St Giles' Hospital, about 1 mile north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
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.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.

Common problems we fix in Loughborough Junction
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A hood coated in old grease
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
School kitchens, at schools like St Saviour's Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Loughborough Junction questions
Can a school canteen extract in Loughborough Junction be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 86 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Loughborough Junction, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Loughborough Junction?
Kitchens in Loughborough Junction are inspected by Lambeth council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Loughborough Junction in your area?
Yes. Loughborough Junction is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Loughborough Junction and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
