Our kitchen extract cleaning service in EN9
Across EN9, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease.
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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

What’s near Waltham Abbey
In Waltham Abbey, that means kitchens and buildings near Belini pub, King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy and Gunpowder Park. You’ll also find Waltham Holy Cross Primary School (within half a mile north-west) and Waltham Abbey Church (0.6 miles west). Waltham Abbey’s nearest station is Waltham Cross station, roughly 1.6 miles west.

Kitchen extracts across EN9
In EN9, we work in places such as Waltham Abbey, Waltham Cross and Enfield Island Village and well beyond. Every place on our EN9 list (12 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across EN9 do not have to lose a day.
Waltham Abbey: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Waltham Abbey Church or elsewhere in Waltham Abbey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Waltham Abbey is St Michaels Hospital, about 4.4 miles west.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Common problems we fix in EN9
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common questions in EN9
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
