Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
Island canopies
Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, so every face can collect grease. We clean all of them, inside and out.
Canopy cleaning in Mayfair, done properly
Dripping edges and a sticky hood are the first things a visitor notices. Under the surface, the plenum behind the filters is typically in a worse state. Canopy cleaning deals with both, so the hood looks right and works properly. Common call-outs are for greasy streaks across the canopy and fat running down the front of the hood, on island canopies, plenum chambers and canopy light fittings.
In a London area like Mayfair, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos 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.

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Common problems we fix in Mayfair
Grease that runs down the inside of a canopy gathers in its gutters and troughs. Left to fill up, they spill over, so fat ends up running down the front of the hood.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Grosvenor Chapel, or anywhere in Mayfair, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mayfair
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 can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Mayfair questions
What do you need to know about parking in Mayfair?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Mayfair in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 88 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Mayfair, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work in Mayfair?
Yes. Mayfair is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. Cleaning the canopy alone leaves the ducts, risers and fan untouched, and the report will say what was covered.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Avoid harsh scourers that scratch the canopy
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Every filter is refitted and checked, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
A change in how the canopy behaves is worth reporting. It can mean the cooking has changed or the interval is too long, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- Filters that no longer seal in the housing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Mayfair kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 244 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 286 hotels and B&Bs across Mayfair 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. Mayfair is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Westminster council inspect food businesses in Mayfair. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like London Eye Hospital, about 0.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as LITE Regal International School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, 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. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Mayfair is no exception.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
