Enfield Chase extract fan cleaning
Need extract fan cleaning in Enfield Chase? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if the extract feels weaker
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
- Don’t turn the fan off mid-service
Where the fan needs repair rather than cleaning, the report says so. We also repair and replace extract fans, so you have one point of contact.
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.
Extract fan cleaning in Enfield Chase
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A greasy fan works harder and moves less air. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look so you get a clean bill of health. If you are dealing with less air being pulled from the kitchen and burning smells from the fan area, we can put it right, from axial fans, centrifugal fans and roof-mounted fans onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Enfield Chase, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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 ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for extract fan cleaning in Enfield Chase
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Grease, kitchens and Enfield Chase
There are about 97 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 42 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Enfield Chase, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Enfield Chase sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Enfield Chase. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Chase Side Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Michaels Hospital about 0.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Enfield Chase
How fast a fan gets greasy in Enfield Chase depends on the cooking: daily hours and the amount of frying and grilling. Under BESA guidance, the whole system, fan included, needs cleaning at least every 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily hours.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Less air being pulled from the kitchen
- Thick grease on the impeller and casing
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Burning smells from the fan area
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Enfield Chase, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Part by part
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.
Roof-mounted fans
Roof fans also discharge grease onto the roof around them, so the outlet area is checked too. We note any grease around the fan.
Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Enfield Chase
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Enfield Chase in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 32 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Enfield Chase. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Enfield Chase?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Enfield Chase. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What should I send you?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you repair extract fans as well as clean them?
Fan repair and replacement is part of what we do. If we find wear or damage, we will explain it and send you a fixed quote.
Do you provide a report after cleaning the fan?
A photo report shows the fan before and after. If it’s part of a full TR19 clean, a TR19 certificate is issued too.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Enfield Chase.
- Diagnosis first: we look for grease, noise and vibration.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Each blade is cleaned so the impeller runs evenly.
- Housing, outlet and the area around the motor are cleaned.
- The fan goes back into service with a report on its condition.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
