Duct Cleaning · Shanklin
Shanklin kitchens - the Old Village tea rooms, the Regent Street restaurants and the Esplanade hotels - run grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Shanklin canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorShanklin is a seaside resort on Sandown Bay, its thatched Old Village tea rooms, the restaurants along Regent Street and the High Street and the hotels on the Esplanade all cooking hard through the season. Each vents through extract ductwork carrying hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a hidden roof outlet.
Across the island's 1,701 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 Shanklin to TR19 Grease, cutting access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
Insurers and fire risk assessors work to TR19 Grease because it measures the whole extract system rather than the visible canopy. It grades grease by depth and fixes the point at which a run has to be cleaned again - so the interval is a measurement, not a guess.
Across Shanklin 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.
A Shanklin Old Village tea room ran its duct hidden above the ceiling of a thatched building. We surveyed it carefully, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end around service, documenting the run for the file.
A Shanklin Esplanade hotel kitchen 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 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.
Regent Street and the Esplanade carry Shanklin's food trade, tea rooms and hotels sitting close, so one neglected duct threatens the units either side, and a thatched Old Village raises the stakes. We clean and certify the whole system to keep a Shanklin kitchen fire-safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Shanklin and the wider Isle of Wight, including The High Street and Regent Street, the Old Village and Chine, and the Esplanade hotels and seafront. 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 Isle of Wight 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 Isle of Wight.
