Canopy cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Duckett's Green
A kitchen team can wipe the outside of a canopy, but the seams, gutters and inner skin need more. We scrape the heavy deposits, then degrease the surfaces with methods that suit the build-up, using hot water or steam where it helps. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection and grease channels that no longer drain.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Duckett's Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What we’re called out for in Duckett's Green
The plenum is hidden behind the filters, so nobody sees it build up. Kitchen staff clean what they can see, leaving the plenum and housing to collect grease between professional cleans.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy edge
- Condensation running down the canopy
- Heavy deposits behind the grease filters
- An EHO comment about the canopy
For kitchens close to Hornsey station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Duckett's Green questions
Can you come to Duckett's Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Duckett's Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Duckett's Green?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Duckett's Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
A TR19® Grease clean covers the whole system, not just the canopy. A canopy clean helps between full cleans, but the ducts and fan still need doing, and the report will say what was covered.
What is 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.
Do you clean the grease filters as part of a canopy clean?
The filters are removed, cleaned and put back. We check each one seats properly, because gaps let grease through.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Canopy cleaning around Duckett's Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 52 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in and around Duckett's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Duckett's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Haringey council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Duckett's Green is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John Vianney RC Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Duckett's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Duckett's Green and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What affects the quote in Duckett's Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why it’s worth doing now in Duckett's Green
Fresh grease comes off far more easily than old. Over months, the heat hardens it into a stubborn coating, which makes a later clean slower and harder. Planning ahead in Duckett's Green lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Photo reports with every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One number for every site across the South East and London

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- Bent or broken filters
- A light fitting that does not work
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Canopy light fittings
- Grease gutters
- Plenum chambers
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes part of a shift for most kitchens, more where there are several canopies or heavy deposits. Before any visit in Duckett's Green, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start by checking the canopy, filters and plenum.
- Equipment below is switched off and left to cool, then sheeted.
- Filters come out and the plenum behind them is scraped and degreased.
- The canopy is cleaned inside and out, including troughs and seams.
- We refit the filters, clear up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
