Why deal with it now?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy can’t draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line while the fan strains. Cleaning restores the path the air should take. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Streatham Hill
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 cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. Typical jobs include filters that never seem to stay clean and fat running down the front of the hood, on wall canopies, baffle filters and plenum chambers.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Streatham Hill is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Streatham Hill
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
If you cook for passing trade around Streatham Hill station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

How we price canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most canopies. In a London area like Streatham Hill, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Streatham Hill: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Streatham Hill?
That’s Lambeth council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Streatham Hill. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Streatham Hill after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Streatham Hill can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
We clean canopies in commercial kitchens of every kind. The routine stays the same whatever the kitchen, with the equipment off and cool.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Streatham Hill
Look up Streatham Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 496 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 199 sandwich bars and takeaways across Streatham Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Kitchens in Streatham Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Lambeth council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate from 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. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, so the canopy can be cleaned when the kitchen is closed. Holidays and weekends work well.
