Kitchen extract cleaning in Enfield Lock
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Enfield Lock it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a London area like Enfield Lock, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Enfield Lock: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 21 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Enfield Lock. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Enfield Lock. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you cook for passing trade around Enfield Lock station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Prince of Wales Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Ss Peter and Paul Church, or anywhere in Enfield Lock, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Enfield Lock questions
Can you come to Enfield Lock after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Enfield Lock keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Enfield Lock?
That is London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Enfield Lock saves time on the night.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
