What is Kitchen Canopy Cleaning?
Kitchen canopy cleaning involves the removal of grease, oil and other residue that accumulates on the internal and external surfaces of commercial kitchen canopies. These surfaces are exposed to high volumes of cooking fumes and airborne particles, which settle over time and create both fire and hygiene risks.
This service is essential for maintaining a safe and effective extraction system. Regular cleaning not only helps to reduce fire hazards but also improves airflow, extends the life of your equipment and supports compliance with health and safety regulations.
Why it’s important
Commercial kitchen canopies are designed to capture airborne grease and smoke, but without routine cleaning, they quickly become a source of risk. A neglected canopy can lead to:
Increased fire risk due to grease build-up
Poor ventilation and rising kitchen temperatures
Breaches in hygiene standards
Higher maintenance costs from damaged or inefficient equipment
Non-compliance with insurance and safety guidelines
Regular professional cleaning helps to keep your canopy working as intended, supporting both fire safety and hygiene standards in the kitchen.
TR19 Compliant
TR19 is the industry-recognised guidance for the cleaning of ventilation systems, including kitchen canopies. It was developed by BESA and is widely used as the standard for inspections, insurance claims and fire safety compliance.
Although TR19 is not a legal regulation in itself, it is often referred to by insurers and environmental health officers. If a fire or safety issue occurs and your kitchen canopy has not been cleaned to TR19 standards, your insurance could be at risk.
Our cleaning service follows TR19 guidelines in full, and you will receive a post-clean report to demonstrate compliance.
