Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stonegate
For canopies and hoods in Stonegate, 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. If you’re dealing with heavy deposits behind the grease filters and poor capture at the hood, we can put it right, from wall canopies, canopy light fittings and grease gutters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Plenums and filter housings
Filter housings hold the filters in place, and their channels fill with grease. Clean housings let the filters seat properly and leave no gaps.
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Grease filters too damaged to refit (they need replacing)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Why deal with it now?
For a kitchen in Stonegate, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Each visit written up, with pictures
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Stonegate.
- We look at the canopy first, from photos or on a visit.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- Inside and out, the canopy and its grease channels are degreased.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after pictures go into your report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we price canopy cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Stonegate
Can you get to a site in Stonegate?
Yes. Stonegate is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Stonegate outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Stonegate keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you clean inside the canopy as well as outside?
The whole canopy, inside and out. The plenum behind the filters is included because that’s often the dirtiest part.
Do you provide pictures 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.
What do you do to 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.
