About our ductwork cleaning in Edmonton
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. If you’re dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help, from attenuators, multi-storey ducts and access panels onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Edmonton is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, which is where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning around Edmonton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 29 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Edmonton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. London Fire Brigade covers Edmonton. 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.
For schools such as Brettenham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like North Middlesex University Hospital about 1 mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Across the N9 area, we can take on ductwork cleaning. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small. Our London page covers sites nearby (9 miles or so).

We also cover Upper Edmonton (1 mile south), Picketts Lock (1 mile east), Northumberland Park (1 mile south), Ponders End (1 mile north-east) and Bush Hill Park (1 mile north-west).

Local landmarks in Edmonton
Typical jobs here are in premises near NiW Furniture pub, The Latymer School and Starks Field School and the streets around them. Edmonton has its own railway station: Edmonton Green station. Well-known places in the area include Edmonton Green Shopping Centre (within half a mile north-east) and North Middlesex University Hospital (1 mile south-west). For a walk, there’s Highams Park Lake and Ainslie Wood.
Edmonton questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Edmonton during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 43 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Edmonton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who inspects food businesses in Edmonton?
Food hygiene inspections in Edmonton are carried out by Enfield council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Edmonton?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we clear up before we go. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Edmonton is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What affects the quote in Edmonton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Edmonton
Wherever the kitchen is, in Edmonton or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Look out for any of the following:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
If you cook for passing trade around Edmonton Green station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before you book

Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Duct sections that need replacing
