Canopy cleaning in Peaks Hill, done properly
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for grease filters blocking between washes and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, across wall canopies, grease gutters and island canopies.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Peaks Hill, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
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 a few hours for most canopies. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Peaks Hill needs from us.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting 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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Peaks Hill and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Kitchen extracts in Peaks Hill
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Peaks Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Croydon council inspect food businesses in Peaks Hill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Purley War Memorial Hospital about 0.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Coloma Convent Girls' School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. For kitchens close to Purley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Questions from Peaks Hill
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Peaks Hill in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Peaks Hill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 24 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Peaks Hill?
Peaks Hill is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
