Kitchen extract cleaning for sites in Bullsmoor

When something else is needed

Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:

  • Fat blocking the kitchen drains
  • Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
  • A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Canopies and hoods
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Discharge points
  • Plenums and filters
  • Vertical risers
  • Extract fans

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bullsmoor

The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you’re dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right, from extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Most calls from Bullsmoor come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.

We clean every reachable part of the system in Bullsmoor: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.

In a smaller place like Bullsmoor, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Bullsmoor kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 98 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 71 takeaways in Bullsmoor and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Bullsmoor. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Bullsmoor is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Honilands Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in Bullsmoor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Bullsmoor: your questions answered

Which fire authority looks after Bullsmoor?

Fire safety enforcement in Bullsmoor is handled by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

Do you cover smaller places like Bullsmoor?

Yes, Bullsmoor is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

What information do you need?

A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

What accreditations do you hold?

We’re 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’re fully insured.

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

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.

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We plan the journey to Bullsmoor and bring what the job is likely to need.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Clear the space around the work

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

What we are called out for in Bullsmoor

The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.

Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
  • An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
  • Grease dripping from the canopy or filters

Commuter trade near Turkey Street station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • What hours they’ll be on site

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

How the job changes from site to site

Extract fan and discharge

Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.

Ductwork and risers

Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The condition of the system
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What we need to know

What to send for a quote:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
