Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Newington Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
For schools such as Newington Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning in Newington Green, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Newington Green or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and fat dripping from the ductwork.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Newington Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Newington Green
Newington Green questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Newington Green?
In Newington Green, it’s Islington council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Newington Green during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 42 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Newington Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If your building in Newington Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Kitchen extracts in Newington Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 898 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 203 takeaways and sandwich shops in Newington Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Food hygiene inspections in Newington Green are the job of Islington council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; German Hospital is the nearest hospital to Newington Green, about 0.8 miles east. A kitchen near Canonbury station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
