Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Connaught Village
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Canopy cleaning in Connaught Village, done properly
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers baffle filters, grease gutters and canopy light fittings, and the jobs we see most are a plenum thick with grease behind the filters and an EHO comment about the canopy.
In a London area like Connaught Village, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Plenums and filter housings
The plenum is the space behind the filters where air gathers before entering the duct. It catches whatever gets past the filters, so it’s scraped and degreased on every canopy clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Connaught Village
Getting the canopy cleaned in Connaught Village now saves a bigger job later. It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, out of hours so service carries on. Put off, the grease simply moves further into the system. 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 is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Connaught Village kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 162 pubs and bars and about 247 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Connaught Village, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. London Fire Brigade covers Connaught Village. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Connaught Village get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hospital like Fortius Clinic, about 0.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Connaught Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
- Run the extract the whole time you are cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
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.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Connaught Village
Can a school canteen extract in Connaught Village be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Connaught Village, the Food Standards Agency lists about 78 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Connaught Village after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How long is a canopy clean?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. We’ll tell you what to expect.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
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.
The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most canopies. In a London area like Connaught Village, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
