About our canopy cleaning in Raynes Park
For canopies and hoods in Raynes Park, the work follows the same careful routine: filters out, plenum scraped and degreased, then the canopy cleaned inside and out. Before and after pictures go into your report. The work covers canopy light fittings, grease gutters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are an EHO comment about the canopy and grease filters blocking between washes.
In a London area like Raynes Park, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Pub and hotel kitchens
In a pub or hotel, the canopy is often in view of staff all day, so a dripping hood quickly becomes everyone’s problem. Cleaning the canopy and plenum sorts it.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Canopy cleaning around Raynes Park
The FSA’s data shows about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Raynes Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Merton council inspect food businesses in Raynes Park. 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.
For schools such as West Wimbledon Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Atkinson Morley Hospital, about 1 mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Raynes Park: your questions answered
Can the work in Raynes Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Raynes Park keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Raynes Park?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Do you provide photos of the cleaned canopy?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you cover Raynes Park?
Yes. Our technicians work in Raynes Park, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
We clean the canopy inside and out, including the seams, troughs and gutters. The plenum and filter housing behind the filters are cleaned too.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Raynes Park is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Do you need canopy cleaning in Raynes Park?
A canopy in Raynes Park picks up grease at much the same rate as one anywhere else with the same cooking: 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An EHO comment about the canopy
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
Where a hall near St Saviour's Church, or anywhere in Raynes Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
