Canopy cleaning in Parsons Green
Duct Doctor has cleaned canopies and hoods since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have wet, greasy drips from the hood and a greasy hood noticed by an inspector, we can help, from grease gutters, canopy light fittings and plenum chambers onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Parsons Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Canopy cleaning in Parsons Green: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 122 pubs, bars and clubs and about 46 hotels and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Parsons Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Parsons Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Parsons Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near St Dionis, or anywhere in Parsons Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Imperial Wharf station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like Western Hospital, about 0.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Tell us when the canopy starts to drip
- Do not scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Never run the range with a filter out
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Before and after photos speak for themselves.
Wipe the canopy surfaces at the end of each day. It will not replace a professional clean, but it slows the build-up you can see.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Electrical faults in the canopy
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Grease gutters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

How we price canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. A clean canopy takes that fuel away. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Parsons Green.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Parsons Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Parsons Green?
The local authority for Parsons Green is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How do you handle parking and loading in Parsons Green?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. Any that are damaged are noted on the report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. We’ll make clear on the report which parts were cleaned, so your records stay accurate.
