When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Enfield Wash
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Enfield Wash, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and discharge points. Most calls from Enfield Wash come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. 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 the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Around a smaller place like Enfield Wash, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Around Enfield Wash, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
What affects the quote in Enfield Wash
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
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, alongside our reports.
Enfield Wash kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 100 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 63 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Enfield Wash, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Enfield Wash. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Enfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Enfield Wash. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Turkey Street station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Michaels Hospital about 2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St George's Church or anywhere around Enfield Wash, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Enfield Wash: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enfield Wash?
Kitchens in Enfield Wash are inspected by Enfield council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Enfield Wash?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Enfield Wash is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Enfield Wash?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
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.
