Kitchen extract cleaning in Enfield
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Common call-outs are for rancid smells from grease in the duct and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Enfield, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Greater London.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a London area like Enfield, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Enfield is usually out of hours.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Why act early in Enfield
An overdue clean in Enfield is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A booked night’s work in Enfield costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Questions from Enfield
Does London parking affect a job in Enfield?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Enfield makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can school kitchens in Enfield be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 34 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Enfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Is Enfield in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Enfield.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Grease, kitchens and Enfield
Food Standards Agency records include about 36 pubs and bars in and around Enfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Enfield is covered by 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. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run a café or takeaway near Enfield Town station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Enfield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Enfield Grammar School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Enfield is about 9 miles north of St Pancras, in Greater London. Sites in Enfield get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Enfield is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London we cover for commercial clients. There’s also a page for London, roughly 11 miles from Enfield.

The countryside around Enfield includes Bowyer's Water and Pole Hill.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
