What we’re called out for in Broadwater Farm
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
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.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Broadwater Farm
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Broadwater Farm start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Broadwater Farm: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Kitchens in Broadwater Farm, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right

- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a job in Broadwater Farm, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Why act early in Broadwater Farm
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It’s better booked as a planned job in Broadwater Farm than handled as an emergency.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
