How we handle canopy cleaning in West Green
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers plenum chambers, wall canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters that never seem to stay clean and smoke hanging around the canopy during service.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in West Green is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. A busy site in West Green builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What else we do in West Green
Your questions about canopy cleaning in West Green
Do you work overnight in West Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in West Green needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in West Green?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers West Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
It takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
Grease that builds up inside the canopy has to go somewhere. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. Cleaning removes the cause.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Staff in pub and hotel kitchens work under the canopy all day, so drips and smells soon become a daily nuisance. A thorough clean puts that right.
Island canopies
An island canopy is open on all sides, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. If your building in West Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in West Green and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Canopy cleaning in West Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 50 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across West Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in West Green are the job of Haringey council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. West Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Commuter trade near Seven Sisters station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. For schools such as West Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Philip the Apostle, or anywhere in West Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Keep the fan on through service
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
