Duct Cleaning · Machynlleth
From the the Maengwyn Street inns to the Dyfi-valley kitchens and the care homes, Machynlleth 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 Machynlleth canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.

The kitchens of its pubs, cafes, restaurants and care homes drive grease up through the extract; the offices, the Tabernacl arts centre and the Dyfi-valley trade units turn over dry supply and extract air; and its hotels and laundries run lint-packed dryer ducting.
The concealed extract above those kitchens is exactly what a nightly clean misses. Machynlleth comes under Powys County Council, one of 2,200 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 Machynlleth: Maengwyn Street and the clock tower, Heol Penrallt and the Wednesday market, out along the Dyfi to the trade units. 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 Machynlleth 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.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At a trade unit in the Dyfi valley near Machynlleth, the kitchen keeps its extract on a planned clean so it never becomes the problem. We cleaned the full accessible system and confirmed the depths were back to a safe baseline, with the grease-depth log and a dated certificate.
At a pub in Machynlleth, a boxed horizontal run carried the grease across the roof space to a roof fan. We traced the route, added access panels along it and cleaned every internal metre, with the grease-depth log and a dated certificate.
We trace the whole run, locate the sealed and concealed sections and set the scope and a cleaning interval to your cooking hours.
Compliant inspection hatches go in wherever the ductwork is boxed in, and the kitchen or plant area is sheeted and protected.
The full run is cleaned to bare metal from canopy to fan, with grease-depth readings taken at set points as we work.
You receive a dated certificate, the readings, photographs and a next-due date for the fire 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.
Machynlleth gathers around its Victorian clock tower and Maengwyn Street, the town of Owain Glyndwr's parliament and the Wednesday market, where independent cafes and inns feed the Dyfi valley. 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 Machynlleth kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Machynlleth and the wider Mid Wales, including Maengwyn Street and the clock tower, Heol Penrallt and the Wednesday market, out along the Dyfi to the trade 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 Mid Wales 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 Mid Wales.
