"Canopy clean", "duct clean", "extract clean" — the words get mixed up. Here's what each part is, and why a proper job covers all three.
The canopy
The canopy, or hood, is what sits over the cooking line and holds the baffle filters. It's the visible part and the easiest to clean — but it's only the entrance to the system.
The ductwork
Beyond the canopy, the ductwork carries extracted air outside. Grease that slips past the filters hardens along this hidden run — in the horizontal sections, bends and risers you never see. This is where most extract fires start and travel, which is why TR19 puts so much weight on cleaning the full duct to the outlet.
The fan
At the end sits the extraction fan, pulling air out. A grease-laden fan moves less air, works harder and adds to the fire risk — so it's cleaned with the rest.
Why full-system matters
A canopy-only clean leaves the most dangerous grease — in the ductwork — exactly where it is. A TR19 extract clean covers canopy, duct and fan together, with readings and photos proving the whole system was done. Request a free quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a canopy clean on its own enough?
No — it leaves the higher-risk grease in the ductwork untouched. A full TR19 clean does canopy, duct and fan.
How is the ductwork reached?
Specialists fit inspection hatches where needed so the full run can be accessed, cleaned and photographed.
