Canopy Cleaning in North Kensington

What the work involves, part by part

Grease troughs and gutters

Many canopies have troughs or gutters around the edge to catch running grease. They’re emptied and cleaned during the job, so they can do their job again.

Wall canopies

Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. Grease often collects where the canopy meets the wall, so we clean along it as well as the inner skin.

Why it’s worth doing now in North Kensington

Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. Some kitchens need the canopy cleaning more often than the whole system, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. In North Kensington, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Canopy cleaning in North Kensington: the local picture

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 767 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 143 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around North Kensington, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Fire safety in North Kensington falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Kensington and Chelsea council inspect food businesses in North Kensington. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Louise Hospital about less than half a mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Dissenters' Chapel or elsewhere in North Kensington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
