Duct Cleaning · Broadstairs
From the seafront kitchens around Viking Bay to the offices and care homes inland, Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorBroadstairs runs more ductwork than its seafront lets on. The chip shops, cafes and restaurants around Viking Bay and the harbour push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the shops and offices along The Broadway, and the care homes across St Peter's and Pierremont, depend on dry supply and extract ductwork; and the town's guesthouses and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint. Every one of those runs hides its dirt above the ceiling, where a surface clean never reaches.
Behind a good share of the town's kitchens sits an extract system a canopy wipe never touches. Broadstairs falls under Thanet District Council, which rates 1,482 food premises across the district - 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 seafront kitchen or a Pyson's Road unit.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - across Broadstairs and the wider Thanet coast: from the bays and the old town to The Broadway, St Peter's and the Pyson's Road 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 Broadstairs 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 seafront restaurant near Viking Bay, the kitchen's grease extract climbed through a boxed-in riser to a rooftop fan, with no access on the middle runs. We cut compliant hatches into the concealed sections, cleaned the full length from canopy to fan back to bare metal, and logged grease-depth readings before and after. The run came back clean and certified, with a photo record for the fire file.
Off the greasy kitchen side, a good share of our Broadstairs work is dry ventilation - the supply and extract that silts up over the offices along The Broadway and the town's care homes. 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 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.
Broadstairs strings seven sandy bays along the chalk - Viking Bay at the town's heart, with Stone Bay, Joss Bay and Botany Bay to the north and Dumpton Gap to the south. In summer the bays fill and every seafront kitchen runs flat out, and the grease their extract carries does not take the season off. We work around service - overnight or on a closing day - so a Broadstairs kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action before the next tide of covers.
Yes. We work throughout Broadstairs and the wider Kent, including Viking Bay and the old town to The Broadway, St Peter's and the Pyson's Road 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 Kent 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 Kent.
