Duct Cleaning · Hull
From the Old Town pubs to the schools, nurseries and dockside works, Hull 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 Hull canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorHull runs a great deal of ductwork the city never sees. The pubs and restaurants of the Old Town and the Fruit Market, and the cafes of Princes Avenue, push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the schools, the offices about the Marina 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. Hull falls under Hull City Council, whose remit takes in 2,254 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 an Old Town kitchen or an Alexandra Dock works.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Hull: from the Old Town and Fruit Market to Princes Avenue, the Marina and the Alexandra Dock estates. 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 Hull 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 landmark family-run pub in Hull's Old Town, the kitchen's grease extract climbed a concealed run 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 Hull work is dry ventilation - the supply and extract that silts up over the offices and studios of the Fruit Market and the Marina. 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.
The Fruit Market on Hull's waterfront, where the city once handled its fruit and veg trade off the docks, has been reborn as a cultural and food quarter of galleries, bars and street-food kitchens along Humber Street. Those kitchens cook flat out, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so a Hull kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Hull and the wider East Yorkshire, including the Old Town and Fruit Market to Princes Avenue, the Marina and the Alexandra Dock estates. 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 East Yorkshire 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 East Yorkshire.
