Duct Cleaning · Bodmin
From the A30 roadside diners to the offices and schools in town, Bodmin 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 Bodmin canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorBodmin sits where Cornwall's main road crosses the moor, and it cooks for the traffic as much as the town. The roadside diners and cafes out on the A30, the restaurants and pubs along Fore Street and around Mount Folly, and the tea rooms by the steam railway all push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the serviced offices, shops and schools about the town depend on dry supply and extract ductwork; and the hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint.
Behind a good share of those kitchens sits an extract system a canopy wipe never touches. Bodmin falls under Cornwall Council, whose remit reaches 5,208 rated premises the length of the county - 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 A30 diner or a Walker Lines unit.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - across Bodmin and the wider Cornwall: from Fore Street and Mount Folly to the Priory area, the A30 roadside trade and the Walker Lines estate. 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 Bodmin 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.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
At a large roadside diner on the A30 near Bodmin, a kitchen frying from breakfast to late ran its grease extract up a concealed riser to a roof fan, with access on 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.
A good share of our Bodmin work is dry ventilation - the supply and extract that silts up over the town's serviced offices and public buildings. We brush and vacuum the branch runs, clear and reseat the diffusers, and renew tired panel filters, so the air through the building comes back and the paperwork reflects the whole system.
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.
Bodmin Jail, built in 1859 above the town, held Cornwall's prisoners for over a century and is now one of the county's busiest visitor attractions, cafe and all. The trade that history draws - along with the traffic off the A30 - keeps the town's kitchens working, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so a Bodmin kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Bodmin and the wider Cornwall, including Fore Street and Mount Folly to the Priory area, the A30 roadside trade and the Walker Lines estate. 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 Cornwall 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 Cornwall.
