How we handle canopy cleaning in South Ealing
Has the canopy started to drip or look neglected? A photo of the canopy and filters is a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll get a fixed price, typically within one working day. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and grease gutters, and people most often call us about overflowing grease troughs and gutters and a filter housing caked in grease.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in South Ealing is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that is a design question)
- Grease in the duct runs and risers behind the canopy
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at close every day
- Report new drips or smells from the canopy
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
The report gives a recommended next clean date. That date is based on your cooking hours and what we found, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
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 can quote for the whole system.
South Ealing kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 443 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 94 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around South Ealing, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. The fire and rescue service for South Ealing is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in South Ealing. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a café or takeaway near Brentford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Grange Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the job changes from site to site
Pub and hotel kitchens
Few pubs and hotels can shut the kitchen for a day. We clean the canopy overnight or between services so the kitchen keeps trading.
Wall canopies
The back of a wall canopy is hard to reach and easy to miss. With the filters out we can get to it and degrease it properly.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in South Ealing saves time on the night.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Heavy deposits come off by hand, then the surfaces are degreased.
- Plenum, housing, troughs and canopy are all cleaned and checked.
- You get photos of the result and a recommended date for the next clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Do you need canopy cleaning in South Ealing?
However carefully a kitchen in South Ealing is run, the canopy still collects grease. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, which is why a flare-up near a dirty canopy is so dangerous.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Grease filters blocking between washes
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ealing Hospital is the nearest hospital to South Ealing, about 1.7 miles west.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Your questions about canopy cleaning in South Ealing
Can school kitchens in South Ealing be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 54 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of South Ealing. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in South Ealing?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Will I get a report after the canopy clean?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures. Full system cleans also come with a TR19 certificate.
What does canopy cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is canopy cleaning enough for TR19?
You can have the canopy cleaned on its own, but it will not cover the ductwork or fan. TR19 Grease covers everything the grease travels through, at intervals set by BESA guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
