Ductwork Cleaning in Wood Green
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Wood Green, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
How we price ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Wood Green
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with duct runs with no cleaning record and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Wood Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Wood Green
Can the work in Wood Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Wood Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wood Green?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Wood Green. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. It’s better booked as a planned job in Wood Green than handled as an emergency.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What else we do in Wood Green
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Wood Green
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or anywhere around Wood Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a job in Wood Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease, kitchens and Wood Green
The FSA’s data shows about 59 pubs and bars registered in and around Wood Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Wood Green is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Wood Green get their food hygiene inspections from Haringey council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Greentrees Hospital (about 0.9 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near Alexandra Palace station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
