Our canopy cleaning service in City of London
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for drips from the canopy onto the range and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, across plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and grease gutters.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.

Canopy cleaning across City of London: local notes
Across City of London, from City of London outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in City of London can keep trading.
City of London: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Olave Old Jewry or elsewhere in City of London, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as London Bridge Hospital (about 0.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
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.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. Smoke and heat hang around the cooking line, and the fan works harder for less. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Bent or broken filters
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
Common questions in City of London
Do you cover City of London?
Yes. Our technicians work in City of London, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens do not lose a service. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
We take them out, clean them and put them back. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.
