Duct Cleaning · Cardigan
From the the High Street inns to the Guildhall market cafes and the care homes, Cardigan 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 Cardigan canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.

The kitchens of its pubs, cafes, restaurants and care homes drive grease up through the extract; the Guildhall, the Mwldan arts centre and the riverside trade units turn over dry supply and extract air; and its hotels and laundries run lint-packed dryer ducting.
The concealed extract above those kitchens is exactly what a nightly clean misses. Cardigan comes under Ceredigion County Council, one of 1,086 rated premises on its books - and grease ductwork carries a fire duty, not just a hygiene one, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with the certificate to prove it.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Cardigan: High Street, Pendre and Priory Street around the Guildhall, the castle on Green Street, and the Netpool riverside. 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 Cardigan we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
Extract ductwork from fryers, grills and ranges coats itself in combustible grease along every hidden section to the roof fan. We clean the complete run to TR19 Grease and record post-clean readings.
Supply and general extract ductwork fills with dust, debris and mould that throttles airflow and spreads contamination. We clean and inspect dry ductwork so it actually ventilates.
Tumble-dryer and launderette ducting packs with lint, one of the most flammable build-ups in any building - common in hotels, inns and care homes, and easily overlooked until it is a fire.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At the Guildhall market in Cardigan, the duct was on a routine clean, not a rescue. We worked the canopy, filters and duct and measured the grease depths, dating the certificate with the next clean due.
At a day nursery in Cardigan, a compact canopy and short duct served a kitchen cooking every day. We cleaned the system through and confirmed the capture at the canopy, leaving the responsible person a certificate and the readings.
We trace the whole route, find where access is missing and set the scope and interval to your cooking hours.
Compliant hatches go in where the run is sealed, and the area is sheeted and protected.
The full run is cleaned to bare metal, with grease-depth readings taken as we go.
You receive the certificate, the readings, the photographs and a next-due date for the 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.
Cardigan runs its Guildhall market where the High Street, Pendre and Priory Street meet, an old county town and port on the Teifi with an unusually strong independent food scene for its size. 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 a Cardigan kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Cardigan and the wider Mid Wales, including High Street, Pendre and Priory Street around the Guildhall, the castle on Green Street, and the Netpool riverside. 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 Mid Wales 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 Mid Wales.
