Kitchen extract cleaning in Broadfields Estate, done properly
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Broadfields Estate, you get one team and one number for every site.
Most kitchens in Broadfields Estate fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Broadfields Estate, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Broadfields Estate
Food Standards Agency records list about 79 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 32 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broadfields Estate. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Broadfields Estate are the job of Barnet council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Broadfields Estate sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital about 1.4 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew or anywhere around Broadfields Estate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Questions from Broadfields Estate
Which environmental health team covers Broadfields Estate?
That’s Barnet council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Broadfields Estate. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Broadfields Estate?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Broadfields Estate does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is Broadfields Estate in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Broadfields Estate included.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Broadfields Estate is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
When to call us in Broadfields Estate
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Headstone Manor, about 4.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Broadfields Estate; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
