Enfield · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Enfield restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Enfield
Enfield fries across the borough - the Green Lanes and Fore Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Church Street and Hertford Road kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Ponders End, Hertford Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 2,400 food premises rated across Enfield, most are frying in a cramped space.
What the Ponders End and Hertford Road cooks labour under - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is exactly what we degrease. Cleaned right it draws as it was meant to, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate and running cooler, since a clean Enfield fan no longer battles a greased one to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Ponders End cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Hertford Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Enfield fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork they ask for.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Enfield's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Enfield cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy Ponders End line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on a Ponders End line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a Hertford Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Enfield
We are under Enfield's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A primary school canteen in Enfield had substantial dust and grease through the ventilation, a concern for the pupils' air quality. We ran a specialist HEPA-vacuum extraction followed by a safe, non-toxic sanitisation spray, fully decontaminating the ducting and verifying it safe. The programme was scheduled into the half-term break.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Enfield service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Ponders End cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Hertford Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Enfield canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
Remove filters and access panels, protect the cookline.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy Ponders End or Hertford Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Extraction cleaning covers the canopy, filters and fan; where the concealed duct run behind them is also loaded - as it often is in a tight Ponders End kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes - from Ponders End, Hertford Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater London.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Hertford Road and Church Street run a canopy, filters and a fan and often carry a heavy grease load for their size. We clean and certify them the same way as a full restaurant system.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Enfield has campus catering at the local college, production kitchens at Chase Farm Hospital, and food-manufacturing and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Ponders End and Hertford Road are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Ponders End operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
