Duct Cleaning · UK-Wide
We clean the full duct run that a canopy wipe-down never reaches: greasy kitchen extract, dry ventilation ductwork and lint-packed laundry ducts. Cleaned to standard, photographed and certified for your insurer and fire risk assessment.
Answer a few quick questions about your canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorEvery commercial kitchen, laundry and ventilated building pushes air, grease or lint through concealed ductwork. Out of sight, it builds up: combustible grease coating the inside of extract ducts, dust and debris choking supply and general ventilation, and highly flammable lint packing out tumble-dryer and laundry runs. A canopy or filter clean leaves all of it exactly where it is.
Phoenix Cleaning Company has cleaned commercial ductwork across the UK since 2001. We open up the full run through existing and newly fitted access points, clean it back to bare metal, and hand you the certificate, depth readings and photographs that prove it was done - the evidence your insurer, fire risk assessor and environmental health officer expect.
We clean all three - and each one carries a different problem if it is left.
Extract ductwork from fryers, grills and ranges coats itself in combustible grease along every concealed horizontal and vertical run to the roof fan. We clean the complete run to the TR19 Grease standard and record post-clean grease readings.
Supply and general extract ductwork fills with dust and debris that throttles airflow, spreads contamination and makes systems work harder. We clean and inspect dry ductwork so the ventilation actually ventilates.
Tumble-dryer and commercial-launderette ducting packs with lint - one of the most flammable build-ups in any building. Common in hotels, care homes, gyms and laundries, and easily overlooked until it is a fire.
TR19 Grease is the benchmark insurers and fire risk assessors expect for kitchen extract systems. It covers the whole system - measured, not just the parts you can see. Grease is assessed by thickness, and the standard sets the level at which a system must be cleaned and re-tested.
We inspect the full run, find the access gaps and agree scope and a cleaning frequency for your usage.
We fit compliant inspection hatches where the ductwork is sealed, and protect the kitchen or plant area.
Canopy to fan, down to bare metal, with before-and-after evidence at set measuring points.
You get a dated certificate, grease-depth record, photographs and your next-due date.
Fire safety. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and manage fire risk - and a grease- or lint-laden duct is one of the most serious risks in any catering or laundry building, because a flare-up can travel the ductwork through concealed voids.
Insurance. A current certificate is the evidence your insurer expects. Without it, a fire claim can be reduced or refused - an expensive gap to discover after the event.
Performance and hygiene. Clean ductwork pulls properly, smells better and helps your premises stand up to an environmental health inspection.

Guide based on TR19 Grease. Your exact frequency is confirmed by grease-deposit thickness testing - always use a competent, certified ventilation hygiene technician.
It depends on use. TR19 Grease sets kitchen extract frequency by daily cooking hours - roughly every three months for heavy use, six for moderate, twelve for light. Dry and laundry ductwork is assessed on build-up. We measure yours and confirm the interval, so the next clean is never a guess.
The whole run - from the canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan. The hidden sections are exactly where grease and lint accumulate and where a canopy-only clean leaves the risk untouched.
We fit compliant access panels where the run is sealed, so every internal section can be reached, cleaned, inspected and certified.
