Canopy cleaning in New Southgate
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the treatment is a thorough degrease of the hood, plenum and housing. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are greasy streaks across the canopy and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in New Southgate is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from New Southgate
Do you clean school canteen extracts around New Southgate out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around New Southgate, the Food Standards Agency lists about 41 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Can you work in New Southgate outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You’ll know before we start.
Do you provide pictures of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Southgate
Getting the canopy cleaned in New Southgate now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.

Do you need canopy cleaning in New Southgate?
A canopy in New Southgate picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A hood coated in old grease
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to New Southgate is Coppetts Wood Hospital, about 1 mile south-west.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
