Duct Cleaning · Lydney
From the the Newerne Street pubs to the harbour-estate canteens and the care homes, Lydney 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 Lydney canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorLydney runs more ductwork than the town lets on. The pubs, cafes and restaurants, and the care homes, push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices, the harbour units and the Lydney Harbour industrial-estate units depend on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the town's hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint.
Above most of those kitchens runs an extract a surface wipe never reaches. Lydney sits under Forest of Dean District Council and its 900 rated premises - and a grease duct is a fire risk as much as a hygiene one. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 puts it on the responsible person to keep that run clean to a provable standard.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Lydney: Newerne Street and the town centre, the harbour, and the Lydney Harbour industrial estate. 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 Lydney 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 Lydney Harbour industrial estate, the kitchen extract ran up a sealed riser with no inspection access above the canopy. We formed access doors into the shaft and cleaned the riser through to a rooftop fan, dating the certificate with the next clean due.
At a pub in Lydney, a low horizontal run carried the grease the length of the building to a roof fan. We fitted access at the bends and cleaned the whole route through, leaving the certificate and photographs for the record.
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.
Lydney runs down to its old harbour on the Severn below the Forest of Dean, a former iron and coal port whose Newerne Street pubs and the Lydney Harbour 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 Lydney kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Lydney and the wider Gloucestershire, including Newerne Street and the town centre, the harbour, and the Lydney Harbour industrial estate. 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 Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire.
