Common questions in Millwall
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Millwall out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 49 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Millwall, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Millwall?
Fire safety enforcement in Millwall is handled by London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Canopy cleaning in Millwall
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 send details by email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, normally within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and condensation and grease dripping together, we can put it right.
In a London area like Millwall, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and we clear up before we go. In Millwall, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- Bent or broken filters
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Canopy cleaning around Millwall
The Food Standards Agency lists about 85 pubs and bars and about 15 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Millwall. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Millwall get their food hygiene inspections from Tower Hamlets council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Harbinger Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Miller General Hospital about 0.9 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Why act early in Millwall
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Common problems we fix in Millwall
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
Commuter trade near Deptford station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
