Canopy cleaning in Woodcote Green, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Woodcote Green
We clean canopies in Woodcote Green when the kitchen isn’t cooking: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered, and the kitchen is left ready for the next service. If you have condensation running down the canopy and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help, from plenum chambers, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
Kitchens in Woodcote 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. We clean it out so the grease has somewhere to go.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why deal with it now?
A canopy clean in Woodcote Green now stops the grease spreading further. The work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Woodcote Green
Who inspects food businesses in Woodcote Green?
The local authority for Woodcote Green is Sutton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come to Woodcote Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Woodcote Green needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. Between cleans, a filter exchange service can keep them in good order.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Kitchen extracts in Woodcote Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 65 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 51 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Woodcote Green. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woodcote Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Woodcote Green (Nonsuch Mansion is about 3.6 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wallington High School for Girls or anywhere near Woodcote Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Patrick's Church or anywhere around Woodcote Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When something else is needed

- Bent or broken filters
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Woodcote Green.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- 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 pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
