When it’s something else

- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)

Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Fulham
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and fat running down the front of the hood, across island canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Fulham is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Do you need canopy cleaning in Fulham?
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, and grease ends up dripping from the canopy edge.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
For schools such as St Johns Walham Green Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Fulham
Which fire service covers Fulham?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Fulham. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Fulham during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Fulham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 65 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
Everything from the outer face to the plenum behind the filters. Grease troughs and filter channels are emptied and degreased as part of the job.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What affects the quote in Fulham
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Fulham is usually out of hours.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on through service
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
Keep the photo report with your maintenance log where an inspector can see it. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Kitchen extracts in Fulham
Food Standards Agency records include about 130 pubs, bars and clubs and about 51 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fulham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Fulham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham 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. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Fulham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Western Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
