Grease filter exchange in Northumberland Park
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about gaps where filters have been removed and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
Kitchens in Northumberland Park, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Grease, kitchens and Northumberland Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 40 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Northumberland Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Northumberland Park sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a café or takeaway near Northumberland Park (London) station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Northumberland Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In Northumberland Park, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep every filter in place during service
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Northumberland Park: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Northumberland Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Northumberland Park are carried out by Haringey council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Northumberland Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Northumberland Park is handled by London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we will check on the first visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will give you a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.

Common problems we fix in Northumberland Park
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Northumberland Park is North Middlesex University Hospital, about 0.9 miles north-west.
