Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stamford Hill
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. We’re often asked to deal with rancid smells from grease in the duct and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across discharge points, plenums and filters and extract fans. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Stamford Hill? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Kitchens in Stamford Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.

Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stamford Hill?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stamford Hill is German Hospital, about 1.6 miles south.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Stamford Hill
There are about 438 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 130 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stamford Hill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. It’s Hackney council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stamford Hill. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Stamford Hill falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Stamford Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run a café or takeaway near Stamford Hill station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

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.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Stamford Hill is no exception.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Common questions in Stamford Hill
Who inspects food businesses in Stamford Hill?
That is Hackney council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stamford Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stamford Hill?
Stamford Hill is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
