Commercial Canopy Hood Cleaning

Hand scraping, degreasing, and steam cleaning of canopy interior, gutter channels, filter banks, and polished exterior stainless finishes.

Commercial Canopy Hood Cleaning

Your canopy is the first thing grease hits and the first place a flare-up finds fuel. Every service strips the inside of the hood, the plenum behind the filters and the gutter channels back to bare stainless, then finishes the outside with a food-grade polish.

We work overnight with drop sheets and bunding over your cooking line, so the kitchen is clean, dry and ready for prep by 6:00 AM.

Frequently asked questions

Clean filters help, but they only catch part of the grease. The rest condenses on the inside of the hood, the plenum behind the filters and the gutter channels, which is exactly where a flare-up finds fuel. Those areas need scraping and degreasing that a filter wash can’t do.

We hand-scrape carbonised grease, hot-degrease the canopy interior and plenum, steam out the gutters and drain points, soak and refit your filters, and finish the outside with a food-grade stainless polish. You get before and after photos of every stage.

No. We use food-safe alkaline degreasers, cover your entire cooking line, benches and floors with drop sheets and plastic, and capture all wastewater. All we ask is that equipment is switched off and cooled down before we arrive.

Most canopies up to 4m take 2 to 3 hours on site, and we do it overnight. Your kitchen is clean and ready for prep by 6:00 AM, so you don’t lose a single service.

The canopy is the first stage. Insurers and inspectors look at the whole system, including the duct and roof fan. Our quote tool lets you add duct, fan and filter work in one booking, so it’s all done and certified on the same night.
