Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in St Ann's
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. Where that is the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. Typical jobs include greasy streaks across the canopy and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, across grease gutters, island canopies and canopy light fittings.
In a London area like St Ann's, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why act early in St Ann's
In St Ann's, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What canopy cleaning looks like in St Ann's
Look up St Ann's on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 435 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 147 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of St Ann's. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. Kitchens in St Ann's get their food hygiene inspections from Haringey council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Ann's Church or anywhere around St Ann's, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run a café or takeaway near Seven Sisters station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

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 a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in St Ann's.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
We recommend when the canopy, or the whole system, should next be cleaned. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It won’t replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
When to call us in St Ann's
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- Fat running down the front of the hood
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as City of London Maternity Hospital (about 1.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from St Ann's
Do you clean school canteen extracts around St Ann's out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 48 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of St Ann's. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Does London parking affect a job in St Ann's?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in St Ann's, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is St Ann's in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes St Ann's.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
