What is canopy cleaning?

Grease extract systems are essential in kitchens and can be in use for up to 24 hours of the day, particularly in commercial kitchens. These systems comprise a canopy (or hood) and fan which function to clear heat, grease, and smoke from the air and provide a healthier and safer environment. As kitchens develop a lot of grease, this build-up could pose a major fire risk if regular cleaning isn’t undertaken. Fire safety is of paramount importance which is why canopy cleaning is vital.

Why is canopy cleaning important?

Our canopy cleaning services work to eliminate the risk of a fire. The canopy is placed above the cooking area and includes filters to capture grease particles. However, this isn’t fail-safe and grease particles can be carried through the filters in steam and into the ductwork. Over time, this could accumulate and pose a serious fire risk.

Canopy cleaning is vital because…

  • It effectively and thoroughly removes any grease, therefore reducing fire hazards.
  • It ensures that air is properly removed from the kitchen.
  • It reduces the likelihood of overheating and excessive humidity.
  • It allows noxious fumes from gas-burning appliances to be removed.
  • It makes sure unwanted smells are properly eradicated.

How often should canopy cleaning be done?

The frequency at which you should clean your canopy depends on how often you use your kitchen. We recommend that canopy cleaning services should be undertaken every 12 months at a minimum, using specialist canopy cleaning equipment. However, as it doesn’t take long for grease to build up, it should be cleaned more frequently than this.

Insurance companies will typically recommend a minimum frequency at which the systems should be cleaned and maintained. Adherence to regulations and recognised guidance is essential for building insurance as well as meeting the minimum Duty of Care that you have to your clients, employees and the public. We are fully accredited by NAAD and are licensed to provide you with reports and certificates for your systems.
