About our canopy cleaning in Tooting
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with a hood coated in old grease and grease dripping from the canopy edge, we can help, from baffle filters, grease gutters and wall canopies onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Tooting is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Questions from Tooting
What do you need to know about parking in Tooting?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Tooting makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Can you work in Tooting outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Tooting keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
We clean the canopy inside and out, along with its seams and grease channels. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Which canopies and hoods do you clean?
Canopies in pubs, restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, offices and other kitchens. Whatever is cooked under it, the canopy is cleaned the same thorough way, with the equipment off and cool.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
More services for Tooting
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Tooting and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
Leave it or put it right?
For a kitchen in Tooting, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. For a site in Tooting, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
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 we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Never run the range with a filter out
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Kitchen extracts in Tooting
Look up Tooting on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 555 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 128 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Tooting, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. London Fire Brigade covers Tooting. 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. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
A hospital like Grove Hospital, about within half a mile west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Tooting station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Boniface RC Primary School or anywhere near Tooting, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, 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 Tooting is no exception.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
