Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hanwell
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but a canopy can also need cleaning on its own, between full system cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and a canopy that no longer draws the smoke away, we can help.
Kitchens in Hanwell, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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.

When to call us in Hanwell
A canopy with gaps around its filters lets grease straight through. The plenum and housing behind them then take far more grease than they should, which shows up as heavy deposits when the filters come out.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A greasy hood noticed by an inspector
- Drips from the canopy onto the range
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Where a hall near Church of St Mellitus, or anywhere in Hanwell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Hanwell
Can school kitchens in Hanwell be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 46 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hanwell. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hanwell?
The local authority for Hanwell is Ealing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
When do you clean the canopy?
We clean out of hours as a matter of course, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. We leave it clean and ready for the next service.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which canopies and hoods 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 photos or a visit.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. Grease that slips past the filters settles there, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
What happens if it’s left?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Hanwell
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. In a London area like Hanwell, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Hanwell kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 48 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Hanwell. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Food hygiene inspections in Hanwell are the job of Ealing council’s environmental health team. 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 St Joseph's Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Hanwell station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
