Duct Cleaning · Chorley
From the Market Walk kitchens to the paint plants, offices and Buckshaw sheds, Chorley 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 Chorley canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorChorley runs a great deal of ductwork the town never sees. The restaurants of the town centre and Market Walk, the Fazakerley Street kitchens, and the business-park canteens push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices, the paint plants and engineering works and the college 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. Chorley falls under Chorley Borough Council, whose remit takes in 1,180 rated premises across the borough - 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 Market Walk kitchen or a Buckshaw unit.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Chorley: from the town centre and Market Walk, Fazakerley Street and the flat-iron market, and out to the Buckshaw Village and Euxton Lane business areas. 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 Chorley 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 business-park staff canteen on Buckshaw Village near Chorley, the ventilation ductwork over the servery and kitchen had silted with dust and lost draw. We brushed and vacuumed the branch runs, cleared and reseated the diffusers, and renewed the tired panel filters, so the ventilation came back across the canteen and the paperwork reflected the whole system.
At a restaurant at Market Walk, a heavy kitchen ran its grease extract up a concealed riser to a roof fan 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.
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.
Chorley still cries its wares over the flat-iron market the town has held for seven centuries, bakes the Chorley cake, keeps Astley Hall in its park, and has turned the old Royal Ordnance works at Euxton into Buckshaw Village. The Market Walk and Fazakerley Street kitchens that feed the town cook flat out, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so a Chorley kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Chorley and the wider Lancashire, including the town centre and Market Walk, Fazakerley Street and the flat-iron market, and out to the Buckshaw Village and Euxton Lane business areas. 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 Lancashire 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 Lancashire.
