About our canopy cleaning in Stoke Newington
For canopies and hoods in Stoke Newington, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after pictures go into your report. If you are dealing with a hood coated in old grease and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help.
Kitchens in Stoke Newington, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When it’s something else

- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment

What else we do in Stoke Newington
Why act early in Stoke Newington
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. A busy site in Stoke Newington builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Stoke Newington
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
Look out for any of the following:
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What canopy cleaning looks like in Stoke Newington
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 648 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 156 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stoke Newington. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Stoke Newington is covered by London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Hackney council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stoke Newington. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as German Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near Stoke Newington station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stoke Newington and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the canopy cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. For a job in Stoke Newington, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Stoke Newington: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Stoke Newington?
Fire safety enforcement in Stoke Newington is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can a school canteen extract in Stoke Newington be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Stoke Newington, the Food Standards Agency lists about 37 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.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from photos or a visit.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
