Canopy Cleaning in Streatham Park
Specialist canopy cleaning for Streatham Park: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
How the visit works
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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Streatham Park is no exception.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

About our canopy cleaning in Streatham Park
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers baffle filters, canopy light fittings and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are wet, greasy drips from the hood and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Streatham Park, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. Planning ahead in Streatham Park lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Streatham Park
Look up Streatham Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 418 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 113 takeaways and sandwich shops in Streatham Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. The fire and rescue service for Streatham Park is 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. In Streatham Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lambeth council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like St Leonard's Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you cook for passing trade around Streatham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Streatham Park?
Because the plenum sits behind the filters, it’s easy to forget. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Fat running down the front of the hood
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Tooting Bec Hospital is the nearest hospital to Streatham Park, about within half a mile north-west.

Common questions in Streatham Park
Who is the fire and rescue service for Streatham Park?
That’s London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Streatham Park?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Streatham Park can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
Full gutters and a heavily coated plenum are the common causes. Grease has nowhere else to go, so it runs down and drips, and condensation can carry it too. Cleaning the canopy and plenum clears it.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after pictures go into a report, listing what was cleaned. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
