Duct Cleaning · Desborough
From the the High Street pubs to the factory canteens and the care homes, Desborough 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 Desborough 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 Desborough than the street shows. Grease-laden air climbs out of the pub, cafe and restaurant kitchens and the care homes; the offices, the shoe factories and the A6 trade 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. Desborough comes under North Northamptonshire Council, one of 3,057 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 Desborough: the High Street and the town centre, the old shoe factories, and the trade units off the A6. 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 Desborough 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 a trade unit off the A6 near Desborough, the riser to a rooftop fan was boxed in tight to the wall and had never been opened. We hatched the riser at each floor and cleared the internal surfaces to bare metal, with photographs and a certificate the fire file can show.
At a residential home in Desborough, the duct was on a routine clean, not a rescue. We cleaned the canopy, filters and accessible run and took fresh grease-depth readings, dating the certificate with the next clean due.
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.
Desborough built its name on boot and shoe making, and firms like Cheaney still make footwear here, its High Street pubs and cafes and the factory and A6 trade units feeding the town. 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 Desborough kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Desborough and the wider Northamptonshire, including the High Street and the town centre, the old shoe factories, and the trade units off the A6. 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 Northamptonshire 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 Northamptonshire.
