Greater London · Canopy and hood cleaning
Chelsea Harbour canopy cleaning
For canopy and hood cleaning in Chelsea Harbour, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- Grease channels that no longer drain
- Poor capture at the hood
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. In a London area like Chelsea Harbour, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- The canopy is checked from pictures or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

About our canopy cleaning in Chelsea Harbour
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy edge and a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection, on wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a London area like Chelsea Harbour, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for canopy cleaning in Chelsea Harbour
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system

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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Chelsea Harbour kitchens: local notes
Look up Chelsea Harbour on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 1,003 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 146 takeaways across Chelsea Harbour and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Chelsea Harbour is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run a café or takeaway near Imperial Wharf station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chelsea and Westminster Hospital (about 0.6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Chelsea Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Chelsea Harbour
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters on a regular cycle
- Check all filters are fitted before service
- Make sure filters sit tight in the housing
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
Anything worth knowing goes into the report: damaged filters, gaps around the housing or troughs that need emptying more often. It’s a short list of what to watch, not a sales pitch.
Empty the grease troughs and cups before they fill. Overflowing troughs are the usual cause of drips onto the range, so make emptying them part of the closing routine.
Questions from Chelsea Harbour
Can you work in Chelsea Harbour outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Chelsea Harbour can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Chelsea Harbour?
Fire safety enforcement in Chelsea Harbour 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
Filters are removed so we can clean the plenum and housing, then cleaned and refitted. We also offer a filter exchange service for between cleans.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy canopy is fuel directly above the flame. Flames from the range can ignite it and be pulled further into the system, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. It’s better booked as a planned job in Chelsea Harbour than handled as an emergency.
