How we handle grease filter exchange in Seven Sisters
An exchange visit in Seven Sisters does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. We are often asked to deal with damaged filters letting grease past and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across mesh filters, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs.
In a London area like Seven Sisters, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

Grease filter exchange around Seven Sisters
The Food Standards Agency lists about 35 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Seven Sisters and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Seven Sisters 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. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Seven Sisters is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Earlsmead Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Seven Sisters is North Middlesex University Hospital, about 2.1 miles north. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Seven Sisters, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Seven Sisters
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Seven Sisters?
That is London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Seven Sisters?
That is Haringey council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Seven Sisters. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Seven Sisters has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system

- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why act early in Seven Sisters
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A booked night’s work in Seven Sisters costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Seven Sisters
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009
- Every job surveyed first

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
