About our canopy cleaning in Hampton Wick
Of the whole extract system, the canopy is the bit on show. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can help, from baffle filters, wall canopies and grease gutters onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Hampton Wick is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Island canopies
The underside of an island canopy is in full view, so the finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Never run the range with a filter out
- Keep the fan on through service
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
We point out anything we noticed while the canopy was apart: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Keep the fan running throughout service and for a short while after. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Kitchen extracts in Hampton Wick
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 222 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 64 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hampton Wick. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. London Fire Brigade covers Hampton Wick. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School or anywhere near Hampton Wick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Kingston Hospital, about 1.1 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Signs you need canopy cleaning in Hampton Wick
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation running down the canopy
A kitchen near Hampton Wick station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What else we do in Hampton Wick
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Hampton Wick.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

How we price canopy cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
