Professional canopy cleaning in and around Luxted, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.

- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
How we handle canopy cleaning in Luxted
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. The work covers plenum chambers, baffle filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are greasy streaks across the canopy and filters that never seem to stay clean.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Luxted is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Luxted.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Luxted questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Luxted?
In Luxted, it’s Bromley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Luxted outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Luxted keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Luxted
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Check all filters are fitted before service
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: bent or poorly fitting filters, a light cover that is cracked, or troughs that fill too quickly. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Don’t let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A light fitting that does not work
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
Kitchen extracts in Luxted
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars across Luxted and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Luxted are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. 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. London Fire Brigade covers Luxted. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cudham Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Princess Royal University Hospital (about 2.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What else we do in Luxted
What we are called out for in Luxted
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Luxted, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
