Ductwork cleaning in Enfield Island Village
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and a grease test showing the duct is overdue.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Enfield Island Village, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Common questions in Enfield Island Village
Who is the fire and rescue service for Enfield Island Village?
Enfield Island Village is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can school kitchens in Enfield Island Village be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 23 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Enfield Island Village. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost 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 any work starts.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. In Enfield Island Village, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
