Canopy cleaning in Shepperton Green, done properly
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. We clean it inside and out, along with the plenum and filter housing behind it. If you have filters that never seem to stay clean and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Shepperton Green, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How we price canopy cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. 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. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Grease troughs and gutters
Some troughs drain to a cup or drawer, that is emptied and cleaned too, and we will show staff where it is.
Plenums and filter housings
Behind neglected filters, the plenum can be heavily coated. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Clean the baffle filters often
We clear away the sheeting, waste grease and water before we leave. Filters are back in place and seated properly, and the kitchen is ready to cook.
A daily wipe of the hood keeps fresh grease from baking on. It does not reach the plenum, but it stops the outside building up.
Your questions about canopy cleaning in Shepperton Green
Do you cover smaller places like Shepperton Green?
Yes. Shepperton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you clean canopies in all kinds of kitchens?
Wall canopies, island canopies and single hoods over individual appliances. The method is the same: filters out, plenum and housing cleaned, canopy degreased inside and out.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report shows the canopy and plenum before and after. If the canopy is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Canopy cleaning around Shepperton Green

Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Fire safety in Shepperton Green falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Shepperton Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the canopy cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Around Shepperton Green, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
