About our grease filter exchange in Broadwater Farm
Across Broadwater Farm, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. Typical jobs include filters that leave gaps in the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, across baffle filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Broadwater Farm, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Broadwater Farm is usually out of hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Kitchen extracts in Broadwater Farm
The Food Standards Agency lists about 49 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadwater Farm. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Haringey council inspect food businesses in Broadwater Farm. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Philip the Apostle or elsewhere in Broadwater Farm, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like North Middlesex University Hospital about 1.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What else we do in Broadwater Farm
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Common questions in Broadwater Farm
Who inspects food businesses in Broadwater Farm?
Kitchens in Broadwater Farm are inspected by Haringey council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Broadwater Farm outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is Broadwater Farm in your area?
Yes. We cover Broadwater Farm and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What affects the quote in Broadwater Farm
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In Broadwater Farm, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
The cost 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 any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
