Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Duckett's Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about sections of duct with no access panels and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
Kitchens in Duckett's Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Grease, kitchens and Duckett's Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 52 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in Duckett's Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Duckett's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Duckett's Green is Greentrees Hospital, about 1.5 miles north. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Duckett's Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as St John Vianney RC Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. A busy site in Duckett's Green builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Duckett's Green.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Duckett's Green: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Duckett's Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Duckett's Green are carried out by Haringey council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Duckett's Green?
Duckett's Green is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Duckett's Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
