About our canopy cleaning in Turnham Green
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. We’re often asked to deal with a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a hood coated in old grease, on grease gutters, plenum chambers and wall canopies.
Kitchens in Turnham Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking under it (that’s a design question)
- A light fitting that doesn’t work
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Turnham Green
- Canopy light fittings
- Plenum chambers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Grease gutters
Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
With filters on more than one side, an island canopy has more plenum to clean. Both sides are taken apart and cleaned.
School and staff canteen kitchens
Canteens and school kitchens tend to run to a timetable, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. We often clean them in holidays or at weekends.
Why it’s worth doing now in Turnham 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. A busy site in Turnham Green builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Canopy cleaning around Turnham Green
Look up Turnham Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 428 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 81 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Turnham Green. Any of those kitchens with a canopy has a hood that needs cleaning inside and out. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Kitchens in Turnham Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Commuter trade near Chiswick station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. 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 Turnham Green, about 1.3 miles south. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Nicholas Church or elsewhere in Turnham Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Expect the work in Turnham Green to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Use non-abrasive cloths on the hood
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Keep the fan on through service
- Flag any change in how the canopy behaves
The kitchen is handed back clean, with the sheeting gone and the waste removed. Filters are back in place and seated properly ready for the next service.
Tell us if the canopy starts dripping or the filters clog sooner than usual. More drips or quicker clogging often mean the cleaning interval needs looking at, which a grease thickness test can confirm.
