What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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 work begins.
About our canopy cleaning in Hayes
Canopy cleaning is part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. In that case, the report makes clear what was and wasn’t cleaned, so your records stay accurate. Common call-outs are for condensation and grease dripping together and poor capture at the hood, across plenum chambers, wall canopies and baffle filters.
In a London area like Hayes, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every 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.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most canopies. If your building in Hayes has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- 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.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Hayes questions
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hayes?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hayes during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Hayes, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Hayes?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How long is a canopy clean?
It takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Your quote will give a time.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Does a canopy clean meet TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it won’t cover the ductwork or fan. For TR19, the whole system needs cleaning, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hayes
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That is a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Canopy cleaning around Hayes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 19 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Hayes and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. London Fire Brigade covers Hayes. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hayes, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hawes Down Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What the work involves, part by part
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Wall canopies
A wall-mounted canopy runs along the back of the range. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
Common problems we fix in Hayes
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Daily cleaning reaches the canopy face but rarely gets further, so the plenum often carries months of grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Overflowing grease troughs and gutters
- A hood coated in old grease
- Condensation running down the canopy
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as National Psychosis Unit (about 1.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
