What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Enfield Chase
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you are dealing with staff short of time to wash filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right, from island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
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. For a kitchen in Enfield Chase, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: 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 less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Before any visit in Enfield Chase, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Kitchen extracts in Enfield Chase
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 31 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Enfield Chase. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Enfield Chase is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
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. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chase Side Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Enfield Chase
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enfield Chase?
The local authority for Enfield Chase is Enfield council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Enfield Chase?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Enfield Chase, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
When to call us in Enfield Chase
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
What we are most often called out for:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Michaels Hospital is the nearest hospital to Enfield Chase, about 0.7 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
