Duct Cleaning · Bishop's Stortford
Bishop's Stortford kitchens - the North Street restaurants, the market-town cafes and the airport-side canteens - run grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Bishop's Stortford canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorBishop's Stortford is a Hertfordshire market town on the Stort, minutes from Stansted, and it cooks for both. The restaurants of North Street and South Street, the cafes around Jackson Square and the Corn Exchange and the canteens toward the airport all vent through extract ductwork that carries hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a hidden roof outlet.
Across an East Hertfordshire food economy of 1,401 rated premises, the danger hides in the concealed length of that duct, above a ceiling or inside a riser in an older building, out of sight until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks to see it cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Bishop's Stortford to TR19 Grease, opening access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
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 Bishop's Stortford we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
The greasy extract from a cookline is the run that carries real fire risk. We clean it canopy to fan, down to bare metal, and log grease-depth readings at set points.
Dry ventilation ductwork chokes on dust and debris, so it works harder and moves less air. We clean and inspect it so airflow and air quality come back.
Lint-packed dryer and laundry ducting is among the most flammable build-ups on any site. We clear it and check it, before it becomes the ignition source.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
A North Street restaurant had a vertical riser to a roof fan packed with grease. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal, and left a certificate the insurer accepted.
A canteen on the Stansted side ran a long concealed duct feeding a busy servery. We surveyed it, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end around the shifts, documenting the run for the site.
We trace the whole run, locate the sealed and concealed sections and set the scope and a cleaning interval to your cooking hours.
Compliant inspection hatches go in wherever the ductwork is boxed in, and the kitchen or plant area is sheeted and protected.
The full run is cleaned to bare metal from canopy to fan, with grease-depth readings taken at set points as we work.
You receive a dated certificate, the readings, photographs and a next-due date for the fire 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.
North Street and South Street run the town's independent dining below the old Corn Exchange, a run of restaurants and bars busy every evening. Kitchens set into period buildings carry grease up hidden runs, so we survey and clean the whole system to keep a Stortford kitchen fire-safe.
Yes. We work throughout Bishop's Stortford and the wider Hertfordshire, including North Street and South Street, Jackson Square and the Corn Exchange, out toward Stansted and the Raynham Road units. 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 Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire.
