About our canopy cleaning in Heston
A greasy canopy tells an inspector a lot before they’ve opened anything. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is usually in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. The work covers wall canopies, canopy light fittings and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are overflowing grease troughs and gutters and grease filters blocking between washes.
Kitchens in Heston, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We are 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 have been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price canopy cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Kitchen extracts in Heston
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 26 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 15 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Heston. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Heston 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Heston (Osterley House is about 1.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Westbrook Primary School or anywhere near Heston, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Leonard's Church or elsewhere in Heston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Heston is about 2 miles south of Southall, in Greater London.

Heston is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for canopy cleaning. There’s also a page for London, about 12 miles away.

What canopy cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Electrical faults in the canopy
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
Pub and hotel kitchens
A hotel or pub kitchen can rarely close for long. Canopy cleans are done late at night or early in the morning so the kitchen keeps trading.
Why deal with it now?
Baked-on grease gets harder to shift the longer it stays. Heat from the range bakes canopy grease into a hard, dark layer, which makes a later clean slower and harder. For a site in Heston, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What else we do in Heston
Heston: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Heston?
Food hygiene inspections in Heston are carried out by Hounslow council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work overnight in Heston?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Heston needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you cover Heston?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Heston.
How much of the canopy do you clean?
All of it: the outer surfaces, the inner skin, the seams and the troughs. We also remove the filters and clean the plenum and housing behind them, since that’s where grease hides.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Heston is usually out of hours.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
