How we handle canopy cleaning in Canary Wharf
The canopy is where the extract system breathes in. If it’s coated in grease, everything downstream gets more of it. We start the check-up there, and the cure is a thorough clean of the hood, the plenum and the filter housing. If you’re dealing with filters that clog soon after cleaning and grease channels that no longer drain, we can help, from wall canopies, plenum chambers and baffle filters onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Canary Wharf is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Questions from Canary Wharf
Who is the fire and rescue service for Canary Wharf?
That is London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Canary Wharf?
The local authority for Canary Wharf is Tower Hamlets council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
Before and after photos go into a report that lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach. Where the whole system is cleaned, you also get a TR19 certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What affects the cost of canopy cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When to call us in Canary Wharf
Grease does not build up any differently in Canary Wharf: it comes down to how long the kitchen cooks and what’s on the menu. Frying and grilling load a canopy far faster than steaming or boiling.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor capture at the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- A filter housing caked in grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What canopy cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy undersized for the equipment
- A light fitting that does not work
- Bent or broken filters
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Canary Wharf
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Canary Wharf needs from us.
- We start by checking the canopy and what’s behind its filters.
- Equipment is turned off and cooled, and the area under the canopy is protected.
- Thick grease is scraped away before the canopy is degreased.
- We finish the plenum, troughs and canopy and check them over.
- The canopy is signed off with before and after pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What happens if it’s left?
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. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We’re fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat
- Photo reports with every job

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Grease, kitchens and Canary Wharf
There are about 453 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 141 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Canary Wharf, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Canary Wharf 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.
Where a hall near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Canary Wharf, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Poplar Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Canary Wharf is about 2 miles north-west of Greenwich, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Canary Wharf, we can take on canopy cleaning.
