Our kitchen extract cleaning service in EN4
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in EN4, normally within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
What you will pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning around EN4
From Barnet, New Barnet and Osidge to its smaller places, EN4 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and EN4 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Cockfosters: A hospital like Chase Farm Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Trent CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor that has burnt out
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
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 ready when anyone asks to see it.
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 happens if it’s left?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in EN4 as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
EN4 questions
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it 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.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not 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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
