About our canopy cleaning in Belmont
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. Thick deposits are scraped off by hand, then the surfaces degreased to suit what’s there, using hot water or steam where it helps. If you have poor capture at the hood and grease filters blocking between washes, we can put it right.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Belmont, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
School and staff canteen kitchens
In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. The canopy and plenum are both cleaned, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
Wall canopies
A long wall canopy may hold several sections of filters. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.
FAQs for Belmont
Which fire service covers Belmont?
Fire safety enforcement in Belmont is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you handle parking and loading in Belmont?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Belmont makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Why does grease run off the canopy edge?
A full trough, gaps around the filters or a coated plenum. We clean the canopy, plenum and troughs and tell you what we find.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters come out so the plenum behind them can be cleaned, and they’re cleaned before going back in. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Canopy cleaning in Belmont: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 22 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Belmont. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Belmont is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Harrow council inspect food businesses in Belmont. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Anselm, or anywhere in Belmont, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near Harrow & Wealdstone station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep filters on a set cleaning routine
- Keep the fan on through service
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Check filters are not leaving gaps
File the report alongside your fire risk assessment, so it’s ready when an EHO, insurer or fire officer asks. Photos of a clean canopy and plenum make the record easy to follow.
Clean filters are the canopy’s first defence. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Belmont saves time on the night.
- We look at the canopy first, from pictures or on a visit.
- The range is turned off and allowed to cool before we cover it.
- We remove the grease filters and clean the plenum and filter housing.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- Clean filters are refitted and before and after photos go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in Belmont
In Belmont, as elsewhere, a greasy canopy is one of the first things an inspector sees. Keeping it clean shows the rest of the kitchen is being looked after, and it’s far easier to keep clean than to rescue. A booked night’s work in Belmont costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
