Greater London · Canopy and hood cleaning
Hanger Hill canopy cleaning
For canopy cleaning in Hanger Hill, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hanger Hill
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: after service, overnight or at the weekend. Cooking equipment is turned off and cooled, then covered so the kitchen is ready when we go. If you’re dealing with a hood coated in old grease and wet, greasy drips from the hood, we can put it right.
Kitchens in Hanger Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Hanger Hill.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- 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.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Check filters aren’t leaving gaps
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
What the work involves, part by part
School and staff canteen kitchens
Lighter cooking still leaves grease on the canopy. The whole system still needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance, and the canopy is part of it.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
- Electrical faults in the canopy
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Grease gutters
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Hanger Hill
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hanger Hill?
That is Ealing council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hanger Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hanger Hill out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 39 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hanger Hill. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What causes grease to drip from the hood?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so service isn’t affected. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible.
What kinds of canopies do you clean?
Single hoods, long wall canopies and island canopies alike. We work out the approach when we survey, from photos or a visit.
What we are called out for in Hanger Hill
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. More grease reaches the plenum and housing than they’re designed to take, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
- An EHO comment about the canopy
For schools such as Holy Family Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What canopy cleaning looks like in Hanger Hill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 64 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Hanger Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Hanger Hill is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Hanger Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Ascension or elsewhere in Hanger Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near Acton Main Line station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
