Duct Cleaning · Honiton
From the the High Street cafes to the antiques-quarter inns and the care homes, Honiton 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 Honiton canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.

Grease-laden air climbs out of the pub, cafe and restaurant kitchens and the care homes; the offices, the Heathpark Industrial Estate units and the A30 estate workshops 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. Honiton comes under East Devon District Council, one of 1,551 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 Honiton: the long High Street and the antiques shops, Allhallows and the pottery, and the Heathpark Industrial Estate by the A30. 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 Honiton 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 unit on the Heathpark Industrial Estate at Honiton, the extract crossed a long ceiling void to a rooftop fan, reachable only at the canopy. We fitted access at the bends and cleaned the whole route through, with the grease-depth log and a dated certificate.
At a restaurant in Honiton, the extract was due its scheduled TR19 clean rather than in any trouble. We stripped and cleaned the canopy and baffles and cleared the internal run to clean metal, with photographs and a certificate the fire file can show.
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.
Honiton keeps one of the longest straight High Streets in the West Country, famed for its lace, pottery and antiques shops, a market town whose High Street cafes and inns and the Heathpark Industrial Estate keep it 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 Honiton kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Honiton and the wider Devon, including the long High Street and the antiques shops, Allhallows and the pottery, and the Heathpark Industrial Estate by the A30. 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 Devon 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 Devon.
