Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hounslow West
We have been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have fat running down the front of the hood and filters that clog soon after cleaning, we can help.
Kitchens in Hounslow West, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A light fitting that does not work
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing

FAQs for Hounslow West
Which fire authority looks after Hounslow West?
Hounslow West is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hounslow West in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hounslow West, the Food Standards Agency lists about 33 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
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 many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Canopy cleaning around Hounslow West
Food Standards Agency records list about 267 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 114 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hounslow West. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Food hygiene inspections in Hounslow West are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hounslow Heath Infant and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Hounslow West, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Osterley House, about 2.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Hounslow West; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Part by part
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Plenums and filter housings
A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. Heavy deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

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 a few hours for most canopies. If your building in Hounslow West has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- We protect everything below once it has cooled.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
