TR19 inspection in Duckett's Green, done properly
After a clean, post-clean verification checks the result, with fresh grease readings, pictures and a look at the areas that were cleaned. It gives you evidence of how the system was actually left. Common call-outs are for missing TR19 certificates or history and ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits, on insurer audits, post-clean checks and access surveys.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Duckett's Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Duckett's Green
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. Clean filters can hide a heavy layer behind them, which is why readings matter.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
- Parts of the system left out of past cleans
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
- Uncertainty over how often to clean
For kitchens close to Hornsey station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease, kitchens and Duckett's Green
The FSA’s data shows about 52 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered across Duckett's Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Haringey council inspect food businesses in Duckett's Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Duckett's Green is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
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 run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Duckett's Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Advice
Duckett's Green questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Duckett's Green?
Duckett's Green is in the area of London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Duckett's Green?
In Duckett's Green, it’s Haringey council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work in Duckett's Green?
Yes. We work in Duckett's Green and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 each one has its own record.
What affects the quote in Duckett's Green
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Why act early in Duckett's Green
If there’s a fire or a claim, your insurer may ask for TR19 records. Without them, a claim can be reduced or refused. An up-to-date inspection report is a good place to start. For a site in Duckett's Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
