FAQs for Tottenham Green
Can the work in Tottenham Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Tottenham Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Tottenham Green?
In Tottenham Green, it’s Haringey council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Canopy cleaning in Tottenham Green, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include poor capture at the hood and a filter housing caked in grease, across grease gutters, baffle filters and island canopies.
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 Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
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.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need canopy cleaning in Tottenham Green
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Condensation and grease dripping together
If you run a café or takeaway near Seven Sisters station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you will receive afterwards
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Tottenham Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Faulty canopy lights or wiring (a job for an electrician)
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, and we clear up before we go. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Tottenham Green.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Tottenham Green kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 35 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Tottenham Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London Fire Brigade covers Tottenham Green. 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 Tottenham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Earlsmead Primary School or anywhere near Tottenham Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as North Middlesex University Hospital (about 1.9 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. 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
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
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.
