Canopy cleaning in Barnes, done properly
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. The work covers plenum chambers, island canopies and grease gutters, and the jobs we see most are overflowing grease troughs and gutters and a sticky, discoloured canopy.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Barnes, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Barnes
Can parking be tricky for a job in Barnes?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Barnes?
That is London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Most commercial kitchen canopies, from one small hood to a long run of canopies. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned as well.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
Getting the canopy cleaned in Barnes now saves a bigger job later. It takes a few hours for most canopies, out of hours so service carries on. Left alone, grease keeps moving into the plenum and duct. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Bent or broken filters
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Barnes.
- Diagnosis first: we look behind the filters as well as at the hood.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Barnes
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
For canopy cleaning in Barnes, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteen staff see the canopy, not the duct behind it. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. A thorough clean puts that right.

Grease, kitchens and Barnes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 77 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Barnes. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Barnes is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hospital like Barnes Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a café or takeaway near Barnes Bridge station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Barnes Methodist Church, or anywhere in Barnes, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
