Duct Cleaning · Leeds
Leeds runs grease ductwork the length of the city - the Call Lane bars, the Kirkgate Market kitchens and the Greek Street restaurants all pushing hot, grease-laden air up concealed runs to the roof. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease, canopy to fan.
Answer a few quick questions about your Leeds canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorLeeds cooks hard for the biggest city in West Yorkshire. The bars and kitchens of Call Lane and the Exchange Quarter, the restaurants of Greek Street, the traders and food halls of Kirkgate Market and the strong, long-established Indian food scene all run extract ductwork that climbs, hidden, from the canopy to the roof - and every metre of it lines with grease.
Inside a Leeds food economy of 7,422 rated premises, the concealed run is where the fire risk sits. Grease in a boxed-in riser or a long horizontal duct is out of sight until a fire risk assessor or an insurer asks for evidence, or until a flame finds it. We clean and certify commercial grease, dry and laundry ductwork across Leeds to TR19 Grease, fit access panels where the run is sealed, and leave the photographs and certificate your file needs.
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 Leeds 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.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
In the Market Kitchen food-hall end of Kirkgate Market, a busy trader's line shared a concealed extract run that had never been documented. We surveyed it, cut access panels where it was boxed in, and cleaned it from canopy to fan, leaving a certificate and photo record for the file.
A Call Lane venue kitchen feeding a late crowd had a long vertical riser to a roof fan packed with grease. We fitted compliant panels, cleaned the run back to bare metal, and set a next-due date matched to its heavy hours.
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.
Chapel Allerton has become one of the city's food destinations, a run of independent kitchens, delis and bars along Harrogate Road that fills every evening. Those kitchens push grease up concealed runs like any other, and a fire risk in a busy parade is quickly a problem for the neighbours too. We survey, clean and certify the whole system so a Chapel Allerton kitchen stays fire-safe as well as busy.
Yes. We work throughout Leeds and the wider West Yorkshire, including the city centre and Call Lane, the Exchange Quarter and Greek Street, Kirkgate Market and the food halls, out to Chapel Allerton, Headingley and Cross Gates, and the Cross Green and Hunslet 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 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 West Yorkshire.
