Canopy cleaning in Isle of Dogs, done properly
The canopy is the part of the extract everyone in the kitchen sees. Being first in line, it collects grease on the inside surfaces, along the seams and in the troughs. Our canopy clean covers the shell inside and out, plus the plenum and the filter housing. The work covers grease gutters, plenum chambers and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are drips from the canopy onto the range and heavy deposits behind the grease filters.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Isle of Dogs, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Weak extraction caused by a failing fan motor
- Bent or broken filters
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)

Canopy cleaning in Isle of Dogs: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 88 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Isle of Dogs and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Isle of Dogs 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. It’s Tower Hamlets council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Isle of Dogs. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Harbinger Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Miller General Hospital about 0.9 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Isle of Dogs, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Part by part
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Grease troughs and gutters
Drips from the canopy edge often start in a full gutter. Cleaning it clears the drip.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why act early in Isle of Dogs
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.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

FAQs for Isle of Dogs
Which fire authority looks after Isle of Dogs?
Fire safety enforcement in Isle of Dogs is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Isle of Dogs outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Isle of Dogs can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much does canopy cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How long is a canopy clean?
Allow part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
TR19® Grease is about the whole extract, from canopy to discharge. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What affects the quote in Isle of Dogs
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Need a price for canopy cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Isle of Dogs needs from us.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
