Kitchen Canopy, Filter & ESP Cleaning

Protect Your Kitchen. Meet Compliance. Stay Fire Safe.

At Canopy Cleaning Services, we provide professional kitchen canopy, grease filter, and ESP (Electrostatic Precipitator) cleaning for commercial kitchens across the UK. These essential services help maintain hygiene, prevent fire hazards, and ensure your premises remain compliant with strict health and safety regulations.

Whether you operate a restaurant, school kitchen, hotel, pub, or commercial food facility, keeping your extraction system clean is not just good practice — it’s the law.

 

Why Regular Kitchen Extraction Cleaning Matters

Commercial kitchens generate large volumes of airborne grease, smoke, and odours. Without regular and thorough cleaning, these particles accumulate in your canopy, filters, and ESP units, leading to:

• Fire risks due to grease build-up in extraction systems

• Blocked or inefficient filters, reducing airflow and increasing equipment strain

• Ineffective ESPs, failing to remove fine grease and smoke particles

• Foul odours, reduced air quality, and increased staff discomfort

• Health and hygiene risks, affecting staff and customers

 

Legal Requirements in the UK

Neglecting kitchen extraction cleaning can lead to serious consequences, from prosecution and fines to insurance claim rejections in the event of a fire. The following regulations apply:

🔥 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Mandates that the “responsible person” must take reasonable steps to reduce fire risks, including maintaining kitchen extraction systems in safe working order.

🔥 TR19® Grease – BESA Industry Standard

Requires regular cleaning of canopies, filters, and ducting based on usage level (e.g., heavy-use kitchens may require monthly cleaning). Non-compliance means you’re not meeting industry-recognised best practice.

🔥 Food Safety Act 1990 & Hygiene Regulations

Kitchens must be kept clean and free of contaminants. Poorly maintained canopies and filters can harbour bacteria and compromise food safety.
