Duct Cleaning · Cradley Heath
From the the High Street pubs to the industrial-unit canteens and the care homes, Cradley Heath 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 Cradley Heath canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorThere is far more ductwork behind Cradley Heath than the street shows. Grease-laden air climbs out of the pub, cafe and restaurant kitchens and the care homes; the offices, the retail units and the Black Country works units rely on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that fills with flammable lint.
The concealed extract above those kitchens is exactly what a nightly clean misses. Cradley Heath comes under Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, one of 2,713 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 Cradley Heath: the High Street and the town centre, the Corngreaves end, and the Black Country industrial units. We survey the full route, fit compliant access where a sealed run has none, and clean every internal metre back to bare metal.
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 Cradley Heath 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.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At an industrial unit in Cradley Heath, the system came in on its planned interval, kept in good order. We cleaned the full accessible system and confirmed the depths were back to a safe baseline, leaving the responsible person a certificate and the readings.
At a restaurant in Cradley Heath, the extract snaked across two ceiling voids before it reached a rooftop fan. We mapped the run, opened access at the junctions and cleaned it clear, leaving the responsible person a certificate and the readings.
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.
Cradley Heath was the heart of Black Country chain and nail making, where the women chainmakers won their famous 1910 strike, and today its High Street pubs and cafes and the industrial units keep the town fed and working. 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 Cradley Heath kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Cradley Heath and the wider West Midlands, including the High Street and the town centre, the Corngreaves end, and the Black Country industrial 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 Midlands 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 Midlands.
