Canopy cleaning in The Burroughs, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. If you are dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and a hood coated in old grease, we can put it right.
In a London area like The Burroughs, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
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.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in The Burroughs needs from us.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What canopy cleaning looks like in The Burroughs
The Food Standards Agency lists about 22 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of The Burroughs. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In The Burroughs, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barnet council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The Burroughs sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For kitchens close to Hendon station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. A hospital like St Andrew's Hospital, about 1.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in The Burroughs, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
The Burroughs is about 2 miles south-east of Burnt Oak, in Greater London. We provide canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in The Burroughs and the rest of Greater London.

Leave it or put it right?
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 booked night’s work in The Burroughs costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, and canopy cleans between full cleans can help.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. Each face is cleaned inside and out.
What a clean won’t put right
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Plenum chambers
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in The Burroughs
Is parking a problem for work in The Burroughs?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you work in The Burroughs outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in The Burroughs can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
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 pictures or a visit.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
Why is my canopy dripping grease?
A canopy only holds so much grease. Once the troughs and plenum are full, it runs down and drips, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
