Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in The Wrythe
We clean canopies in The Wrythe when the kitchen isn’t cooking: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. Common call-outs are for a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, on grease gutters, baffle filters and plenum chambers.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in The Wrythe, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. It’s better booked as a planned job in The Wrythe than handled as an emergency.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in The Wrythe
Do you work at weekends in The Wrythe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in The Wrythe keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for The Wrythe?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers The Wrythe. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
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.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
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. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in The Wrythe is typically out of hours.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- 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.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in The Wrythe
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises

Part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Grease, kitchens and The Wrythe
Food Standards Agency records list about 138 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 99 takeaways and sandwich shops in The Wrythe 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. In The Wrythe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sutton council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
School kitchens, at schools like Victor Seymour Infants' School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Commuter trade near Carshalton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hospital like St Helier Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
