Cleaning beyond
the canopy.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning covering ductwork, access points and extractor fan components throughout the wider system.
Grease can travel
through the system.
Your kitchen extraction system continues beyond the visible canopy. As extracted air moves through the system, grease and cooking deposits can build up within accessible ductwork and around the extractor fan.
We look beyond the areas you can see, assessing the accessible parts of the extraction system and agreeing the appropriate cleaning scope before work is arranged.
Discuss your extraction system →Typical cleaning areas
Canopy connection
Where extracted air begins its journey into the wider ductwork system.
Accessible duct runs
Sections of extraction ductwork where grease and cooking deposits can accumulate.
Changes in direction
Bends, turns and other accessible sections throughout the ductwork route.
Extractor fan
Accessible fan components and surrounding areas at the end of the extraction route.
The exact cleaning scope depends on the system layout, condition and access available.
The visible canopy is only the beginning of a commercial kitchen extraction system.
What you can see
isn't the whole system.
The canopy may be the most visible part of your kitchen extraction, but the system continues through ductwork and towards the extractor fan.
As air is extracted from the kitchen, grease and cooking deposits can travel beyond the canopy and accumulate within accessible areas further through the system.
Beyond visible surfaces
Grease build-up isn't limited to the areas of the extraction system you can easily see from within the kitchen.
Through the ductwork
Cooking deposits can accumulate within accessible duct runs, bends and other sections along the extraction route.
All the way to the fan
Build-up can continue towards accessible extractor fan components and surrounding areas at the end of the system.

From first enquiry
to a clear scope.
Extraction systems vary in layout, size, condition and accessibility. We take time to understand your system before agreeing the work required.
Tell us about your system
Get in touch and tell us about your commercial kitchen and extraction setup.
Assess the extraction system
Where needed, we'll assess the layout, condition and accessible areas of the system.
Agree the scope
We'll confirm the areas to be cleaned and provide a clear quotation for the work.
Book your clean
Once you're happy with the quotation, we'll arrange the extraction clean.
Ductwork routes, extractor fan locations and access can vary considerably between kitchens. We'll discuss what is accessible and agree the cleaning scope before work is arranged. View extraction cleaning for commercial caterers.
Extraction system
cleaning, explained.
Every commercial kitchen extraction system is different. Here are some of the questions we're commonly asked about ductwork and extractor fan cleaning.
Have another question? →What does extraction system cleaning include?
The agreed scope can include accessible areas of commercial kitchen extraction ductwork, along with accessible extractor fan components and surrounding areas. The exact work depends on the layout, condition and access available.
Why clean beyond the kitchen canopy?
Extracted air can carry grease and cooking deposits beyond the visible canopy and into the wider extraction system. This means build-up can occur within ductwork and around the extractor fan as well as on visible kitchen surfaces.
Can you clean both the ductwork and extractor fan?
Yes. We can discuss accessible ductwork and extractor fan areas together as part of the wider extraction system. We'll agree exactly what is included before the work is arranged.
Can all parts of the extraction system be cleaned?
This depends on the design of the system and the access available. Extraction routes can vary considerably between kitchens, so we'll assess accessible areas and agree the cleaning scope with you.
What about the canopy and filters?
We also offer commercial kitchen canopy and filter cleaning. This can be discussed alongside extraction system cleaning depending on the work your kitchen requires.
