About our kitchen extract cleaning in Osidge
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and poor airflow at the canopy. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Osidge start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 Osidge, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Osidge
Food Standards Agency records include about 38 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Osidge. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Osidge. 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. Fire safety in Osidge falls to 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Monkfrith Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bruce Castle is about 3.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coppetts Wood Hospital about 2.3 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Around Osidge
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Oak Hill Park, The Osidge Arms and Salcombe School and the streets around them. Osidge’s nearest station is Oakleigh Park station, roughly 1 mile west. Well-known places in the area include Broomfield House Museum (1.6 miles south-east) and Grand Arcade (2.1 miles south-west).

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What else we do in Osidge
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Osidge is no exception.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload

FAQs for Osidge
Who is the fire and rescue service for Osidge?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Osidge. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Osidge?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you work in Osidge?
Yes. We cover Osidge and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Osidge
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A busy site in Osidge builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters often
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the quote in Osidge
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, give us a ring 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. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
