Duct Cleaning · Ashbourne
From the the Market Place inns to the St John Street cafes and the care homes, Ashbourne runs on ductwork you never see - grease extract, dry ventilation and laundry runs where the dirt, and the fire risk, sit concealed above the ceiling.
Answer a few quick questions about your Ashbourne canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorAshbourne runs more ductwork than the town lets on. The pubs, cafes and restaurants, and the care homes, push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices, the coaching inns and the A52 trade units depend on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the town's hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint.
Above most of those kitchens runs an extract a surface wipe never reaches. Ashbourne sits under Derbyshire Dales District Council and its 1,010 rated premises - and a grease duct is a fire risk as much as a hygiene one. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 puts it on the responsible person to keep that run clean to a provable standard.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Ashbourne: the cobbled Market Place and St John Street, Church Street, and the trade units toward the A52. We survey the full route, fit compliant access where a sealed run has none, and clean every internal metre back to bare metal.
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.
Across Ashbourne we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
The extract off a cookline lines itself with combustible grease the whole way to the fan, and it is the concealed length, not the canopy, a fire assessment turns on. We clean it end to end and record the readings.
Dry supply and extract ductwork silts up with dust and debris until it moves far less air than it should. We clean and inspect it so the ventilation actually performs.
Lint packs a laundry or dryer duct faster than anyone expects, and few build-ups catch as readily. We clear and check the run before it turns into an ignition source.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At a trade unit toward the A52 near Ashbourne, the riser to an external fan was boxed in tight to the wall and had never been opened. We formed access doors into the shaft and cleaned the riser through to an external fan, certifying the system for the responsible person.
At a restaurant in Ashbourne, the duct ran above the ceiling to an external fan with access only at the hood. We traced the route, added access panels along it and cleaned every internal metre, with the grease-depth log and a dated certificate.
We inspect the full run, find the access gaps in the concealed sections 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.
The building. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to control fire risk, and concealed grease is where a kitchen fire spreads fastest and least visibly.
The claim. Insurers expect a current certificate; a fire claim on a neglected system can be cut or refused - a costly surprise after a loss.
The day-to-day. A clean run pulls better, smells better and stands up when the environmental health officer visits.
Ashbourne is the gateway to Dovedale and the southern Peak, a coaching and market town whose cobbled Market Place and Georgian Church Street inns and cafes feed the walkers and the Thursday and Saturday markets. The kitchens that feed the town cook hard, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so an Ashbourne kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Ashbourne and the wider Derbyshire, including the cobbled Market Place and St John Street, Church Street, and the trade units toward the A52. Call 07961 915018 or use the contact form and we will confirm and quote.
The whole run - from the canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan. The hidden sections are exactly where the grease and the fire risk sit.
We fit compliant access panels where the run is sealed or boxed in, so every internal section can be reached, cleaned, inspected and certified.
It depends on use. TR19 Grease sets kitchen extract frequency by daily cooking hours - roughly every three months for heavy use, six for moderate and twelve for light - and we set your interval and next-due date on the survey.
Yes. Dry supply and extract ductwork clogs with dust and can spread contamination, and laundry and dryer ducting packs with highly flammable lint. We clean and certify all three.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings, weekends and closing days to keep your kitchen or site running.
We have cleaned and certified commercial ductwork since 2001, the length of the Derbyshire coast and across the UK. Whatever the run - a grease riser, a dry office system or a care-home laundry duct - the work ends the same way: bare metal, a photo record and a certificate that stands up to a fire risk assessment.
Send us your site details and cooking hours and we will survey, quote and certify - across Derbyshire.
