Duct cleaning in Tottenham Green
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Tottenham Green, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
When to call us in Tottenham Green
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Years of grease along the duct floor
For schools such as Earlsmead Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Ductwork cleaning in Tottenham Green
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include ductwork that has never been cleaned and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, across horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Tottenham Green, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Tottenham Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Kitchen extracts in Tottenham Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 338 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 125 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Tottenham Green. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. In Tottenham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London Fire Brigade covers Tottenham Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hospital like North Middlesex University Hospital, about 1.9 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Tottenham Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Common questions in Tottenham Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tottenham Green?
In Tottenham Green, it’s Haringey council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you handle parking and loading in Tottenham Green?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In Tottenham Green, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
