Duckett's Green: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Duckett's Green?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Duckett's Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Duckett's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Duckett's Green keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How far ahead should we book?
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.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Grease filter exchange in Duckett's Green
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and gaps where filters have been removed.
In a London area like Duckett's Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
In Duckett's Green, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Duckett's Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 471 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 166 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Duckett's Green. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In Duckett's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t 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. If you cook for passing trade around Hornsey station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Duckett's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Duckett's Green is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
What affects the quote in Duckett's Green
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:

- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
