Not every 'canopy clean' is the same
Some services only wipe the visible parts of the hood. A proper clean covers the whole extraction path, from the filters to the fan. Use this checklist when comparing quotes.
What a complete clean should cover
- All filters removed, soaked and degreased
- Canopy hood cleaned inside and out
- Plenum chamber behind the filters degreased
- Accessible ducting cleaned through to the fan
- Extraction fan cleaned and checked
- Grease cups and channels emptied
- Cooking equipment protected and the area cleaned up afterwards
- Before and after photos provided
Before you sign off
Look at the photos, check the filters are back in the right way round, and switch on the extraction to make sure it's pulling well. Keep the photos with your maintenance records.
