About our ductwork cleaning in Enfield Highway
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. We’re often asked to deal with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and fat dripping from the ductwork, across multi-storey ducts, attenuators and access panels.
In a London area like Enfield Highway, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Do not switch the extract off early
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Enfield Highway: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enfield Highway?
That is Enfield council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Enfield Highway. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can a school canteen extract in Enfield Highway be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 49 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Enfield Highway. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you work in Enfield Highway?
Yes. We cover Enfield Highway and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why deal with it now?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)

What else we do in Enfield Highway
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Enfield Highway
There are about 112 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 76 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Enfield Highway, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in Enfield Highway falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Enfield Heights Academy or anywhere near Enfield Highway, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you cook for passing trade around Brimsdown station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hospital like St Michaels Hospital, about 1.9 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Expect the work in Enfield Highway to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
