Duct Cleaning · Bristol
From the Harbourside kitchens to the offices, markets and Avonmouth works, Bristol 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 Bristol canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorBristol runs a great deal of ductwork the city never sees. The restaurants of the Harbourside and Wapping Wharf, the independents the length of Gloucester Road and Stokes Croft, and the market units of St Nicholas Market push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices of the centre and Temple Quarter, the studios and the university 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. Bristol falls under Bristol City Council, whose remit takes in 4,470 rated premises across the city - 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 a Harbourside kitchen or an Avonmouth works.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Bristol: from the Harbourside and Gloucester Road to Stokes Croft, Bedminster and the Avonmouth trade units. 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 Bristol 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.
At a food unit in St Nicholas Market, a compact kitchen ran its grease extract up a shared concealed riser 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.
A good share of our Bristol work is dry ventilation - the supply and extract that silts up over the offices of the centre and Temple Quarter. 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.
Brunel's Clifton Suspension Bridge has spanned the Avon Gorge since 1864, the emblem of a city his railway, his steamship the SS Great Britain and his engineering remade. The Harbourside those docks became now holds one of Britain's best food scenes, and the grease its kitchens' extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so a Bristol kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Bristol and the wider West of England, including the Harbourside and Gloucester Road to Stokes Croft, Bedminster and the Avonmouth trade 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 West of England 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 West of England.
