Kitchen extracts in West Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 473 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 157 takeaways across West Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. It’s Haringey council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For kitchens close to Seven Sisters station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Greentrees Hospital (about 1.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like West Green Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Green
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and poor airflow at the canopy. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in West Green? Duct Doctor has covered London and 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.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in West Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Part by part
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Common questions in West Green
Can school kitchens in West Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around West Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 48 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which fire service covers West Green?
West Green is in the area of London Fire Brigade. 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.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Planning ahead in West Green lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How it works
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 a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in West Green.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
