How we handle canopy cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the canopy, but some sites need the canopy done between full cleans. Where that’s the case, we will be clear that the ducts and fan aren’t included, so your records stay accurate. The work covers island canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are poor capture at the hood and greasy streaks across the canopy.
In a London area like Strand-on-the-Green, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Strand-on-the-Green: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in Strand-on-the-Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Strand-on-the-Green, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Who inspects food businesses in Strand-on-the-Green?
In Strand-on-the-Green, it’s Richmond-Upon-Thames council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is the inside of the hood cleaned?
The full canopy, inside and out, and the plenum behind it. Troughs, gutters and filter housings are cleaned too.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Strand-on-the-Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Out-of-hours cleans are how we work, at night, early in the morning or at weekends. The kitchen is handed back ready to cook.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Clean the baffle filters often
- Keep every filter in place while cooking
- Empty the grease troughs before they fill
- Refit filters the right way round and fully seated
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
Run the extract for as long as anything is cooking. Turning the fan off early lets vapour settle on the hood.
Part by part
Island canopies
Island canopies often have filters on two sides. We work round the canopy, cleaning each filter bank and plenum.
Pub and hotel kitchens
Pub and hotel kitchens can cook from breakfast to late evening. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Why act early in Strand-on-the-Green
Leaving the canopy until the next full clean can mean months of build-up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. It’s better booked as a planned job in Strand-on-the-Green than handled as an emergency.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common problems we fix in Strand-on-the-Green
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. As the canopy cools, condensation forms, carrying grease with it. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Greasy streaks across the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Barnes Hospital is the nearest hospital to Strand-on-the-Green, about 1.5 miles south-east.

When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
