Greater London · Canopy and hood cleaning
Canopy and hood cleaning in Nash, Greater London
For canopy and hood cleaning in Nash, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- A canopy that no longer draws the smoke away
Canopy cleaning in Nash
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. We are often asked to deal with an EHO comment about the canopy and fat running down the front of the hood, on plenum chambers, grease gutters and canopy light fittings.
Kitchens in Nash, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that cannot pull enough air because it’s worn out
- A light fitting that does not work
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Nash
- Wall canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Every filter is refitted and checked ready for the next service.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
When to call us in Nash
Grease does not build up any differently in Nash: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Poor capture at the hood
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wickham Common Primary School or anywhere near Nash, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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 can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Nash
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops across Nash and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Fire safety in Nash falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Princess Royal University Hospital, about 1.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nash (Down House is about 2.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Different parts, different methods
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. We remove the filters to reach it and degrease it properly.
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Nash
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Common questions in Nash
Do you work overnight in Nash?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Nash needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Is parking a problem for work in Nash?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Nash, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A canopy only holds so much grease. When the gutters fill, it overflows onto the range, often mixed with condensation. A thorough clean stops it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Nash is typically out of hours.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Cooking equipment is left to cool and the area under the canopy protected.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
