Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bonnington
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you’re dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and greasy streaks across the canopy, we can put it right, from baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Bonnington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Run the extract the whole time you’re cooking
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
After the clean you get a photo report showing the canopy, plenum and housing before and after. The report lists what was cleaned and any part we couldn’t get to, so the record is honest and complete.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Most canopy drips start with a full trough, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Grease channels around the canopy collect what runs down the inside. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.
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.

Common questions in Bonnington
Can you come to Bonnington after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bonnington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bonnington?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
On its own, a canopy clean is a useful extra rather than a full TR19 clean. We will make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
How long does canopy cleaning take?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you work in Bonnington?
Yes. Bonnington is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Why deal with it now?
A blocked plenum and clogged filters cut the airflow at the canopy. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. Planning a trip to Bonnington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Bonnington can be planned properly.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get pictures of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
