Duct Cleaning · Derby
From the Sadler Gate kitchens to the offices, venues and Litchurch Lane works, Derby 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 Derby canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorDerby runs a great deal of ductwork the city never sees. The fine-dining and independent restaurants of the Cathedral Quarter and Sadler Gate push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices about the Strand, the venues and the university 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. Derby falls under Derby City Council, whose remit takes in 2,283 rated premises across the city - 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 Sadler Gate kitchen or a Litchurch Lane works.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Derby: from the Cathedral Quarter and Sadler Gate to the Strand, the Silk Mill and the Litchurch Lane works. 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 Derby 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.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
At a tucked-away fine-dining restaurant in Derby, the kitchen's grease extract ran 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.
A good share of our Derby work is dry ventilation - the supply and extract that silts up over the offices and venues about the Cathedral Quarter and the Strand. 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.
Derby's Silk Mill on the Derwent is reckoned the site of the world's first modern factory, built in 1721 to throw silk by machine - the spark of the industrial system Rolls-Royce and the railways carried on here. The Cathedral Quarter kitchens beside it cook flat out, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so a Derby kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Derby and the wider Derbyshire, including the Cathedral Quarter and Sadler Gate to the Strand, the Silk Mill and the Litchurch Lane works. 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 Derbyshire 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 Derbyshire.
