Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hatton
Grease troughs, seams and the inside edge of the canopy are the spots a daily wipe misses. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you have canopy gutters full of old fat and grease filters blocking between washes, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Hatton is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
School and staff canteen kitchens
A canteen canopy may cook fewer hours, but it still collects grease. BESA guidance still sets a minimum interval for the whole system, and the canopy is part of it.

Canopy cleaning in Hatton: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 13 pubs and bars and about 19 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Hatton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hatton sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hatton is Harlington, about 1.9 miles north-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Osterley House is about 3.4 miles north-east), access may need planning.
Hatton is about 1 mile north of Feltham, in Greater London. We carry out canopy cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Hatton and the rest of Greater London. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, large and small. There’s also a page for London, about 14 miles away.
We cover every part of TW14, TW6 and TW4 for canopy cleaning and the roads nearby. Streets in the area include Faggs Road, Envoy Avenue and Myrtle Avenue, and we cover them all for canopy cleaning. Main roads around Hatton include the A30, so getting to you is simple for canopy cleaning. Other places close to Hatton include Cranford (1 mile north-east), Heathrow (1 mile west), Harlington (1 mile north-west), Bedfont (1 mile south-west) and Feltham (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include London (14 miles east), City of Westminster (12 miles east), Marylebone (12 miles east), Kensington (10 miles east), St Pancras (14 miles east) and Shoreditch (15 miles east).
Local landmarks in Hatton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Green Man Public House, Hounslow Heath and Rivers Academy West London. For rail, the closest station is Heathrow Terminal 4 Rail station, roughly 1.2 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Treaty Centre (2.5 miles east) and Harlington (1.9 miles north-west). Open spaces near Hatton include Staines Reservoirs and Crane Meadows.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hatton
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, so the longer it’s left, the longer the clean takes. For a site in Hatton, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Keep them on a regular cleaning or exchange cycle, and never cook with one missing. Less grease gets into the plenum as a result.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hatton
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
When to call us in Hatton
Air straight off the range hits the canopy first. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A plenum thick with grease behind the filters
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Hatton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What we do, step by step
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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Hatton is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Common questions in Hatton
Can a school canteen extract in Hatton be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Hatton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire service covers Hatton?
That is London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
Every clean comes with a photo report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. A full TR19 clean adds a certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
Size and build-up decide it. As a guide, it takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits.
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 can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what canopy cleaning will not do:
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
