Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Gillette Corner
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy edge and an EHO comment about the canopy, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Gillette Corner is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Gillette Corner
When grease clogs the filters and plenum, the canopy cannot draw air as it should. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A clean canopy and plenum let the extract do its job. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Questions from Gillette Corner
What do you need to know about parking in Gillette Corner?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Gillette Corner?
Gillette Corner is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
A canopy-only clean is possible, but it is not a full TR19 clean. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Do you cover Gillette Corner?
Yes. We cover Gillette Corner and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
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 pictures or a visit.

What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Grease gutters
- Wall canopies

How we price canopy cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
If you need canopy cleaning in Gillette Corner, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clean the hood’s outer surfaces daily
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep grease cups and drawers emptied
Where the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If the job covers only the canopy, the paperwork reflects that.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Air that keeps moving carries less grease onto the canopy.
What canopy cleaning looks like in Gillette Corner
Food Standards Agency records include about 42 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Gillette Corner. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Gillette Corner falls to London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Gillette Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Marlborough Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; West Middlesex University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Gillette Corner, about 0.7 miles south.

When to call us in Gillette Corner
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that never seem to stay clean
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
For kitchens close to Syon Lane station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Part by part
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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. For a job in Gillette Corner, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
