Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Chelsea
Every canopy we clean in Little Chelsea gets the same treatment: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. Before and after photos go into your report. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and condensation and grease dripping together, across plenum chambers, grease gutters and baffle filters.
In a London area like Little Chelsea, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, 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, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Little Chelsea is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Out of hours, the range is switched off, cooled and covered.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- Filters are refitted, the area cleaned down and the photo report put together.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Your questions about canopy cleaning in Little Chelsea
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Little Chelsea during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 72 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Little Chelsea. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which council inspects kitchens in Little Chelsea?
Kitchens in Little Chelsea are inspected by Kensington and Chelsea council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will it take to clean the canopy?
It takes a few hours, depending on the size of the canopy and how much grease has built up. Your quote will give a time.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you clean the canopy outside our opening hours?
Only while we’re working, and we work out of hours, so most kitchens don’t lose a service. We work evenings, nights and weekends.
How much does canopy cleaning cost in Little Chelsea?
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 work begins.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and Little Chelsea
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 1,144 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 133 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Little Chelsea. Where they cook under a hood, the plenum behind the filters is where grease hides. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Fire safety in Little Chelsea falls to 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chelsea and Westminster Hospital about within half a mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Park Walk Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. For kitchens close to Imperial Wharf station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Check and empty canopy gutters regularly
- Don’t scrape the canopy with metal tools
- Leave the extract running until cooking stops
- Clean the baffle filters often
A before and after photo report follows the clean. It notes what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, so the record is honest and complete.
The best thing a kitchen can do for its canopy is keep the filters clean. Wash or exchange them regularly, and make sure they’re all in place before cooking. The plenum behind them stays cleaner.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. In Little Chelsea, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Plenums and filter housings
Behind the grease filters is the plenum. It catches whatever gets past the filters, and it’s cleaned every time we clean the canopy.
Wall canopies
At the back of the canopy, behind the filters, grease builds up unseen. With the filters out we can get to it and scrape it clean.
