Professional Kitchen Canopy Hood Cleaning in Bromley
Kitchen canopy cleaning involves the thorough degreasing and cleaning of your commercial kitchen's extraction canopy hood — the large metal hood positioned above your cooking equipment that captures heat, steam, smoke, and grease-laden air.
For commercial kitchens in Bromley, regular canopy cleaning is essential for fire safety, hygiene compliance, and efficient ventilation. A grease-clogged canopy reduces airflow, increases energy costs, and creates a significant fire risk.
Canopy cleaning is part of a full extraction cleaning service in Bromley, alongside TR19 duct cleaning and kitchen fan cleaning.
Did you know? A heavily soiled canopy can reduce extraction efficiency by up to 50%, meaning more grease, heat, and smoke stays in your kitchen.
What's Included in Canopy Cleaning?
A professional canopy clean covers:
- External canopy surfaces – fully degreased and polished
- Internal canopy surfaces – deep cleaned to remove grease buildup
- Baffle filters – removed, soaked, and degreased (or replaced)
- Grease gutters and cups – emptied, cleaned, and refitted
- Canopy lights – cleaned and checked
- Plenum chamber – accessed and cleaned where possible
Canopy Cleaning for Fire Safety & Insurance Compliance

- Reduce the risk of kitchen fires

Our CKC Approved cleaner provides photographic evidence and documentation of all canopy cleaning work.
How Often Should Canopies Be Cleaned?
Canopy cleaning frequency depends on your kitchen's cooking volume:
| Kitchen Type | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
| Heavy use (fast food, takeaways, chargrills) | Monthly |
| Moderate use (restaurants, hotels) | Every 3-6 months |
| Light use (cafes, schools) | Every 6-12 months |
Baffle filters should ideally be cleaned weekly as part of your routine kitchen cleaning, with professional deep cleaning on the schedule above.
