Canopy Cleaning in Hammersmith
One call covers deep cleaning of kitchen canopies, hoods, plenums and grease filters, inside and out in Hammersmith: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
What we’re called out for in Hammersmith
Steam and condensation make canopy grease harder to deal with. As the canopy cools, condensation forms and runs with the grease. The result is sticky streaks and drips onto the range.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Corona Theatre School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing

Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for canopy gutters full of old fat and greasy streaks across the canopy, across canopy light fittings, baffle filters and grease gutters.

Canopy cleaning around Hammersmith
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 126 pubs and bars and about 64 hotels and guest houses in Hammersmith and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Hammersmith is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Hammersmith are the job of Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Hammersmith, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For kitchens close to Kensington Olympia station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Hammersmith questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Hammersmith?
Kitchens in Hammersmith are inspected by Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is parking a problem for work in Hammersmith?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
One lightly soiled hood does not take long, while long canopies, several hoods or heavy deposits take more time. You will know before we start.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you work in Hammersmith?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Hammersmith included.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. In Hammersmith, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
What canopy cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- A fan that can’t pull enough air because it’s worn out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Hammersmith

Leave it or put it right?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

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.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
