For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Edgware Bury
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods. Kitchens in Edgware Bury book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Edgware Bury is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Edgware Bury
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in Edgware Bury and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In Edgware Bury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hertsmere council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Headstone Manor is about 4.1 miles south-west), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital about 1 mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Edgware Bury questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Edgware Bury out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Edgware Bury. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does London parking affect a job in Edgware Bury?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How the visit works
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 one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a job in Edgware Bury, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Common problems we fix in Edgware Bury
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Broadfields Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
