About our canopy cleaning in Wood Green
If the canopy in Wood Green is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away and drips from the canopy onto the range, across plenum chambers, wall canopies and canopy light fittings.
Kitchens in Wood Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Questions from Wood Green
How do you handle parking and loading in Wood Green?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Which fire service covers Wood Green?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Wood Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. The survey tells us how best to clean yours, from pictures or a visit.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
What we do, step by step
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 part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Wood Green.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by pictures or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Wood Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When to call us in Wood Green
Most canopies have troughs or channels that catch running grease. If they’re not emptied, they fill and overflow, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Fat running down the front of the hood
A kitchen near Alexandra Palace station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before booking anyone
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Why act early in Wood Green
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Give the canopy a wipe after service
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
Do not let canopy gutters fill to the brim. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Canopy cleaning around Wood Green
Look up Wood Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 418 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 145 takeaways in and around Wood Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Food hygiene inspections in Wood Green are the job of Haringey council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Wood Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
