How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Canopy cleaning in Earlsfield, done properly
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. It’s also the first place cooking vapour meets, so grease gathers on its inner skin, seams and gutters. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. Typical jobs include filters that never seem to stay clean and condensation running down the canopy, on plenum chambers, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Earlsfield, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Earlsfield
However carefully a kitchen in Earlsfield is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Look out for any of the following:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- A hood coated in old grease
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Beatrix Potter Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Earlsfield.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Canopy cleaning in Earlsfield: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 554 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 88 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Earlsfield. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Earlsfield is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A kitchen near Earlsfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like St James' Hospital, about 1 mile east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Earlsfield is about 2 miles north-east of Wimbledon, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of Earlsfield or further out, canopy cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

Earlsfield: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Earlsfield?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Earlsfield. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Earlsfield?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from pictures or a visit.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do we need to close the kitchen for a canopy clean?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Are the filters cleaned too?
We remove the filters to reach the plenum, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Plenum chambers
- Canopy light fittings
- Wall canopies
What happens if it’s left?
In Earlsfield, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. In Earlsfield, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
