Kitchen extract cleaning in Edmonton

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Edmonton

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Edmonton give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Edmonton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.

Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.

Kitchens in Edmonton, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Between visits

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
  • File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
  • Book the next clean before the date on the report
  • Keep grease collection points emptied

We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.

Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.

How the job changes from site to site

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.

What happens on the day

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Edmonton.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Common questions in Edmonton

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Edmonton during the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 43 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Edmonton. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Edmonton?

Kitchens in Edmonton are inspected by Enfield council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

Do you cover Edmonton?

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Edmonton included.

What do you do with what you remove?

It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.

What affects the quote in Edmonton

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The size of the system

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in Edmonton

Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Why Edmonton businesses choose us

  • One number for every site across the South East and London

What we are called out for in Edmonton

Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
  • Grease drips onto cooking equipment
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator
  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brettenham Primary School or anywhere near Edmonton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What your quote should include

  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
  • When the next visit should be, and why

Questions to ask before booking

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • A duct that is holed or coming apart
  • A grease trap that needs emptying
  • A fan motor that has burnt out

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Canopies and hoods

Kitchen extract cleaning around Edmonton

Food Standards Agency data counts about 186 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 111 takeaways in and around Edmonton, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Edmonton sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Enfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Edmonton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Edmonton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Edmonton is North Middlesex University Hospital, about 1 mile south-west.
