Duct Cleaning · Ashton-under-Lyne
From the Ashton Market kitchens to the panel shops, offices and Whitelands sheds, Ashton-under-Lyne 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 Ashton-under-Lyne canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorAshton-under-Lyne runs a great deal of ductwork the town never sees. The traders of Ashton Market and the Old Street kitchens, the Stamford Street restaurants, and the Whitelands estate canteens push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices, the panel shops and mill workshops and the college buildings depend on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint.
Behind a great share of those kitchens sits an extract system a canopy wipe never touches. Ashton-under-Lyne falls under Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, whose remit takes in 2,460 rated premises across the borough - and grease ductwork is a fire matter as much as a hygiene one. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person has to keep it clean to a standard a certificate can show, whether the run climbs out of an Ashton Market unit or a Whitelands unit.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Ashton-under-Lyne: from Ashton Market and Old Street, Stamford Street and the arcades, and out to the Snipe and Whitelands industrial estates. We survey the full route, fit compliant access where a sealed run has none, and clean every internal metre back to bare metal.
Insurers and fire risk assessors work to TR19 Grease because it measures the whole extract system rather than the visible canopy. It grades grease by depth and fixes the point at which a run has to be cleaned again - so the interval is a measurement, not a guess.
Across Ashton-under-Lyne we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
Extract ductwork from fryers, grills and ranges coats itself in combustible grease along every hidden section to the roof fan. We clean the complete run to TR19 Grease and record post-clean readings.
Supply and general extract ductwork fills with dust, debris and mould that throttles airflow and spreads contamination. We clean and inspect dry ductwork so it actually ventilates.
Tumble-dryer and launderette ducting packs with lint, one of the most flammable build-ups in any building - common in hotels, inns and care homes, and easily overlooked until it is a fire.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
At a trade-estate staff canteen on Whitelands near Ashton-under-Lyne, the ventilation ductwork over the servery and kitchen had silted with dust and lost draw. We brushed and vacuumed the branch runs, cleared and reseated the diffusers, and renewed the tired panel filters, so the ventilation came back across the canteen and the paperwork reflected the whole system.
At a restaurant on Old Street, a heavy kitchen ran its grease extract up a concealed riser to a roof fan with access reaching only the first length. We cut compliant hatches into the boxed sections, cleaned the full run from canopy to fan back to bare metal, and logged grease-depth readings before and after. The system came back clean and certified, with a photo record for the fire file.
We trace the whole route, find where access is missing and set the scope and interval to your cooking hours.
Compliant hatches go in where the run is sealed, and the area is sheeted and protected.
The full run is cleaned to bare metal, with grease-depth readings taken as we go.
You receive the certificate, the readings, the photographs and a next-due date for the logbook.
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.
Ashton-under-Lyne grew on cotton and keeps one of the great market halls of the North, with the three canals meeting at Portland Basin and the old mills - Texas, Wellington - still standing over Whitelands. The Ashton Market and Old Street kitchens that feed the town cook flat out, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so an Ashton-under-Lyne kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Ashton-under-Lyne and the wider Greater Manchester, including Ashton Market and Old Street, Stamford Street and the arcades, and out to the Snipe and Whitelands industrial estates. 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 Greater Manchester 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 Greater Manchester.
