Ductwork cleaning in Tottenham Hale
Not every duct has enough access panels. 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. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, access panels and vertical risers onwards.
Kitchens in Tottenham Hale, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In Tottenham Hale, as across London, we usually 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.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Common questions in Tottenham Hale
Can you come to Tottenham Hale after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Tottenham Hale keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Tottenham Hale?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Tottenham Hale. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tottenham Hale
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A booked night’s work in Tottenham Hale costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.

- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
