Duct Cleaning · Porthcawl
Porthcawl kitchens - the John Street cafes, the seafront restaurants and the harbour eateries - run grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Porthcawl canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorPorthcawl is a seaside resort on the South Wales coast in the Bridgend county borough, its cafes along John Street, the restaurants on the Esplanade and the harbour eateries by the Jennings Building all busy with visitors through the season. Each kitchen vents through extract ductwork that carries hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a hidden roof outlet.
Across the Bridgend county borough's 1,366 rated premises, the risk sits in the concealed length of that duct, above a ceiling or up a riser, unseen until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks to see it cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Porthcawl to TR19 Grease, cutting access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
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 Porthcawl 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.
A Porthcawl seafront restaurant ran its duct hidden above the ceiling. We surveyed it, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end around service, documenting the run for the file.
A Porthcawl harbour eatery had a vertical riser furred with grease behind the line. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal from canopy to fan, and set the interval to its cooking hours.
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.
The Esplanade and John Street carry Porthcawl's food trade, cafes and restaurants busy in season, so one neglected duct threatens the units either side. We clean and certify the whole system to keep a Porthcawl kitchen fire-safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Porthcawl and the wider South Wales, including The Esplanade and John Street, the harbour and seafront, and Newton and Nottage. 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 South 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 South Wales.
