About our canopy cleaning in South Bermondsey
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. Common call-outs are for canopy gutters full of old fat and wet, greasy drips from the hood, on wall canopies, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
In a London area like South Bermondsey, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Why deal with it now?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. 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. A busy site in South Bermondsey builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

South Bermondsey: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in South Bermondsey?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in South Bermondsey needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after South Bermondsey?
That is 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, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work in South Bermondsey?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes South Bermondsey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. Typically it takes a few hours for most canopies.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. We keep it to what matters.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in South Bermondsey is usually out of hours.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.

What canopy cleaning looks like in South Bermondsey
Food Standards Agency records list about 556 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 392 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Bermondsey. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In South Bermondsey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southwark council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A hospital like New Cross Hospital, about 0.6 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Augustine or elsewhere in South Bermondsey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near South Bermondsey station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
