About our canopy cleaning in Adelphi
If the canopy in Adelphi is dripping, sticky or overdue a clean? Send us a photo of the hood and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for canopy cleaning, usually within one working day. If you have a filter housing caked in grease and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, we can help.
Kitchens in Adelphi, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Canopy cleaning in Adelphi: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 4,261 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 749 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Adelphi. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Food hygiene inspections in Adelphi are the job of Westminster council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Adelphi is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Savoy Chapel, or anywhere in Adelphi, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Adelphi is about 1 mile south-east of Marylebone, in Greater London. Whether your site is in the middle of Adelphi or further out, we cover canopy cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Adelphi is one of them.
Work in W1D, W1F and WC2H follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need canopy cleaning at premises on York Road, Drury Lane and Maiden Lane or anywhere close by, we can help. Adelphi is on the A301 and A400, so it’s easy for us to get to for canopy cleaning. Neighbouring places we cover for canopy cleaning include Covent Garden (1 mile north), Charing Cross (1 mile south-west), Aldwych (1 mile north-east), Seven Dials (1 mile north-west) and West End (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Stockwell (3 miles south) and Orpington (13 miles south-east).

Questions from Adelphi
Do you work overnight in Adelphi?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Adelphi needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can school kitchens in Adelphi be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 83 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Adelphi. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Typically not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Adelphi
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common problems we fix in Adelphi
Any canopy in Adelphi that’s used for cooking will gather grease in the end. That grease is fuel sitting right above the heat, so a flare-up near a greasy hood can quickly become a fire.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Condensation running down the canopy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Savoy Hospital about within half a mile north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What the work involves, part by part
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with pictures for each.
School and staff canteen kitchens
School and canteen kitchens often cook to set hours, which makes a canopy clean easy to schedule. Holidays and weekends work well.

Leave it or put it right?
If the canopy waits for the next full clean, grease keeps adding up. In a busy kitchen, the canopy and plenum can need attention between TR19 cleans, and readings or a look behind the filters will show it. A booked night’s work in Adelphi costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
