Canopy Cleaning in Tottenham
Specialist canopy cleaning for Tottenham: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Poor capture at the hood
What happens if it’s left?
A canopy clean in Tottenham now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes a few hours for most canopies, done while the kitchen is closed. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How we handle canopy cleaning in Tottenham
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. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you are dealing with drips from the canopy onto the range and condensation running down the canopy, we can put it right, from wall canopies, island canopies and canopy light fittings onwards.
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. In Tottenham, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Tottenham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tottenham?
Food hygiene inspections in Tottenham are carried out by Haringey council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Tottenham out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Tottenham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 35 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Wall and island canopies, long cooking-line hoods and small single hoods. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What affects the quote in Tottenham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Keep the fan on through service
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.

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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Canopy cleaning in Tottenham: the local picture
There are about 232 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 116 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Tottenham, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. In Tottenham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Tottenham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like North Middlesex University Hospital, about 1.1 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you cook for passing trade around Bruce Grove station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Before any visit in Tottenham, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
