Extract fan cleaning in Enfield Wash, done properly
Every TR19® Grease clean includes the extract fan, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, especially when it has started to vibrate or sound rough. A fan-only clean is recorded as exactly that. If you’re dealing with a heavily greased fan housing and grease stains around the discharge, we can put it right.
Around a smaller place like Enfield Wash, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
Without a working extract fan, a kitchen cannot cook safely. Many fan problems start with grease, so keeping it clean is part of keeping it running. If it does fail, our 24/7 emergency line is there. A site near Enfield Wash that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.

Your questions about extract fan cleaning in Enfield Wash
Is Enfield Wash within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Enfield Wash is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can a school canteen extract in Enfield Wash be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 45 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Enfield Wash. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Enfield Wash?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How long will it take to clean the fan?
A single accessible fan does not take long, while fans on high roofs or in tight voids take longer. It’s done while the kitchen is closed.
Why is my extract fan noisy?
A common cause is grease. Grease collects unevenly and unbalances the impeller, causing vibration and noise. If cleaning doesn’t, the bearings or motor may need attention.
Kitchen extracts in Enfield Wash
There are about 100 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 63 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Enfield Wash, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The fan at the end of each of those extracts collects grease that slows it and wears the motor. Enfield Wash sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Enfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Enfield Wash. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Turkey Street station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Enfield Wash, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the grease filters clean and in place
- Keep each photo report with the maintenance log
- Notice when the fan starts to sound different
- Check the report shows the fan was cleaned
If the fan needs more than a clean, we’ll say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
A change in how the fan sounds is worth noting. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear and early action can save a repair.
Part by part
Fan housings and motors
We clean around the motor without soaking its electrics, and the fan is isolated throughout. Grease on and around the motor can trap heat, so the surrounding area is cleaned carefully.
Wall fans
Wall fans often have a short duct, so grease reaches them quickly. They may need cleaning as often as the canopy, which grease readings will show.

Signs you need extract fan cleaning in Enfield Wash
A fan collects more grease when the filters let more through. When filters do not seal, grease goes straight through to the fan, so the fan takes far more than it should.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan that has never been cleaned
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease around the motor and its mounts
- A noisy fan that has got louder over time
School kitchens, at schools like Eastfield Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two for one fan, longer when it’s hard to reach. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Enfield Wash when you book.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- The impeller and the housing around it are scraped clean.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a 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, you get a fixed price before we start.
