About our canopy cleaning in Victoria
For canopies and hoods in Victoria, the work follows the same careful routine: we remove the filters, clean the plenum and housing, then degrease the canopy shell. You get pictures of the canopy before and after. If you have a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and a plenum thick with grease behind the filters, we can put it right, from canopy light fittings, plenum chambers and island canopies onwards.
In a London area like Victoria, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and environmental health officers look at the cleanliness of equipment, extraction included. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What affects the quote in Victoria
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
FAQs for Victoria
Which fire service covers Victoria?
Victoria is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Victoria?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Victoria can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What happens to the filters during the clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. Each filter is checked for fit as it goes back, because gaps let grease through.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most canopies. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Victoria.
- First the canopy is surveyed, by photos or in person.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- With the filters out, the plenum and housing are cleaned back.
- We degrease the canopy shell, its seams and the grease troughs.
- Filters go back, the area is cleaned down and photos are taken.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Victoria kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 2,776 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 228 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Victoria. Every kitchen among them that cooks under a canopy has a hood, plenum and filters collecting grease. Victoria sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Where a hall near St. Michael's Church, or anywhere in Victoria, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you cook for passing trade around London Victoria station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Victoria is about 1 mile south of City of Westminster, in Greater London. We carry out canopy cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Victoria and the rest of Greater London. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots.
Work in SW1V, SW1P and SW1X is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You will find streets such as Eaton Lane, Gerald Road and Wilton Road, all of which we cover for canopy cleaning. Being close to the A202 and A302, Victoria is simple for us to get to for canopy cleaning. Nearby, we also carry out canopy cleaning in Belgravia (1 mile north-west), Pimlico (1 mile south-east), Westminster (1 mile north-east), Millbank (1 mile north-east) and Brompton (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover Shoreditch (4 miles north-east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles north-east), Whitechapel (4 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north) and Ruislip (13 miles north-west).
Local landmarks in Victoria
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Westminster Cathedral Choir School, Wetherspoons pub and Green Park, among other places. Also close by are Westminster City School (under half a mile north-east) and London Library (0.9 miles north). There’s a railway station in Victoria itself: London Victoria station. Other landmarks nearby include Baynard's Castle (2.2 miles north-east) and Harrods (0.9 miles west). For a walk, there’s Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.
Honest limits
Canopy cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork and fans beyond the canopy (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A light fitting that does not work
- A hood that doesn’t cover the cooking line
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Victoria
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Fat in that air settles on the inside of the hood, in its seams and on the filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A sticky, discoloured canopy
- Canopy gutters full of old fat
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Fat running down the front of the hood
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Westminster Children's Hospital about under half a mile south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
