Duct Cleaning · Axminster
From the the Trinity Square cafes to the town-centre inns and the care homes, Axminster 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 Axminster canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorAxminster 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 Millwey Rise estate units and the Weycroft estate workshops 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. Axminster sits under East Devon District Council and its 1,551 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 Axminster: Trinity Square and the Minster, the carpet works and Woodmead Road, and the Weycroft and Millwey Rise 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 Axminster 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 unit on the Millwey Rise Industrial Estate at Axminster, the extract was due its scheduled TR19 clean rather than in any trouble. We cleaned the full accessible system and confirmed the depths were back to a safe baseline, certifying the system for the responsible person.
At a restaurant in Axminster, the extract snaked across two ceiling voids before it reached a rooftop fan. We opened the boxed sections and cleaned the full length to clean metal, certifying the system for the responsible person.
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.
Axminster has woven its famous carpets since Thomas Whitty's first loom in 1755, a market town above the Axe on the Jurassic Coast edge whose Trinity Square cafes and inns and the Weycroft and Millwey Rise estates keep it fed and working. 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 Axminster kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Axminster and the wider Devon, including Trinity Square and the Minster, the carpet works and Woodmead Road, and the Weycroft and Millwey Rise 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 Devon 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 Devon.
