Duct Cleaning · Carlton
Carlton's kitchens - the Carlton Hill parades, the Netherfield takeaways and the Colwick estate canteens - push grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole run to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Carlton canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorCarlton runs along the ridge north-east of Nottingham with a busy high street of its own. The cafes and takeaways of Carlton Hill and the Square, the parades of Netherfield and the canteens on the Colwick Industrial Estate all run extract ductwork that lifts hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a concealed roof outlet.
As one of Gedling Borough Council's 833 rated premises, a Carlton kitchen holds its fire risk in the hidden part of that run - a boxed-in riser, a duct above a ceiling - unseen until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks to see it cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Carlton to TR19 Grease, fitting access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
TR19 Grease is the benchmark insurers and fire risk assessors expect for kitchen extract systems. It covers the whole system, measured, not just the parts you can see. Grease is assessed by thickness, and the standard sets the level at which a system must be cleaned and re-tested.
Across Carlton 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.
A Carlton Hill takeaway had a vertical riser packed with grease behind the kitchen. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal from canopy to fan, and set its interval to its frying hours.
A canteen on the Colwick Industrial Estate ran a long concealed duct that had never been fully cleaned. We surveyed it, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end, documenting the run for the site.
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.
Carlton Hill is the spine of the town, a long shopping street of independents where kitchens sit close together and one neglected duct is a risk to the businesses either side. We clean and certify the whole system so a Carlton kitchen is safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Carlton and the wider Nottinghamshire, including Carlton Hill and the Square, out through Netherfield and Gedling, and the Colwick Industrial Estate by the river. 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 Nottinghamshire 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 Nottinghamshire.
