Questions from Edmonton
Can a school canteen extract in Edmonton be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 43 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Edmonton. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Edmonton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Is it safe to clean the fan while the kitchen is open?
We isolate the fan, so the kitchen can’t cook while we work. That is why fan cleans are done out of hours, and the kitchen is ready when we leave.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you offer extract fan cleaning separately?
Yes, where it makes sense. A coated fan often means the duct before it is coated too, but the choice is yours.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed 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.
Can you fix a fan that is worn out?
We also repair and replace extract fans. If cleaning shows a worn motor, bearings or impeller, we’ll tell you and quote for the repair.
How we handle extract fan cleaning in Edmonton
Any fan serving a kitchen in Edmonton is cleaned the same careful way as anywhere else: we isolate it, open the housing, scrape the impeller and degrease the lot. The result is photographed for your records. The work covers in-line fans, discharge points and roof-mounted fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and grease escaping from the fan outlet.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Edmonton is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Edmonton
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Edmonton and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Part by part
Wall fans
Smaller kitchens may extract through a fan on an outside wall. We isolate it, then clean the blades and housing.
Impellers and blades
Coated blades move less air. We clean each blade back to its surface, so the fan can run as intended.
Do you need extract fan cleaning in Edmonton?
The fan sits at the end of the grease’s journey. The grease that’s left lands on the blades and the casing, and the spinning blades fling it onto the walls of the housing.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- Vibration from an unbalanced impeller
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 kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 29 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Edmonton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Edmonton is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Commuter trade near Edmonton Green station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Edmonton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Edmonton is about 9 miles north-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Across the N9 area, we can carry out extract fan cleaning at your premises. Edmonton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for extract fan cleaning. You can also see our page for London, roughly 9 miles from Edmonton.
Every address in N9, N18, N13 and EN1 is covered for extract fan cleaning, from busy streets to back roads. Local streets include The Broadway, Plevna Road and Galahad Road, all of which we cover for extract fan cleaning. You will find Edmonton on the B137 and B154, so it’s easy for us to get to for extract fan cleaning. If your site is just outside Edmonton, we 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). We also work in nearby towns such as London (9 miles south), City of Westminster (9 miles south-west), Marylebone (8 miles south-west), Kensington (10 miles south-west), St Pancras (7 miles south) and Shoreditch (7 miles south).
Around Edmonton
Around Edmonton, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near NiW Furniture pub, The Latymer School and Starks Field School, among other places. Edmonton has its own railway station: Edmonton Green station. Nearby you’ll also find Edmonton Green Shopping Centre (less than half a mile north-east) and North Middlesex University Hospital (1 mile south-west). Not far away are Highams Park Lake and Ainslie Wood.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A cracked or broken impeller (it needs replacing)
- Electrical faults in the fan’s supply or controls (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Roof-mounted fans
- Discharge points
- Fan housings
- In-line fans
- Centrifugal fans
- Axial fans
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look for grease stains near the discharge
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Keep the fan on whenever the range is lit
- Never cook with a filter missing
When we’ve finished, the fan is reassembled and run. Anything we notice, like noise, vibration or a worn part, goes on the report, so you can plan any repair.
Stick to the interval for the full extract. A fan cleaned with the rest of the system on time rarely gets badly coated, in line with BESA guidance.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Edmonton saves time on the night.
- We find the fan and check how it’s reached and how it’s isolated.
- The fan is isolated so it cannot start while we work.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Edmonton
The fan is part of the fire path. TR19® Grease covers the whole extract, fan included and many insurers require the full system to be cleaned to TR19. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
