Duct Cleaning · Shifnal
From the the High Street inns to the market cafes and the care homes, Shifnal 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 Shifnal canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorShifnal 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 historic inns and the trade units toward Telford depend on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the town's hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint.
The concealed extract above those kitchens is exactly what a nightly clean misses. Shifnal comes under Shropshire Council, one of 3,080 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 Shifnal: the High Street and the market, the church end, and the trade units toward Telford. 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 Shifnal 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.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At a trade unit toward Telford near Shifnal, the grease extract climbed a boxed-in riser to a rooftop fan with access only at the canopy. We formed access doors into the shaft and cleaned the riser through to a rooftop fan, leaving the certificate and photographs for the record.
At a care home in Shifnal, the extract was due its scheduled TR19 clean rather than in any trouble. We cleaned the canopy, filters and accessible run and took fresh grease-depth readings, leaving the certificate and photographs for the record.
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.
Shifnal keeps its Georgian and timber-framed High Street east of Telford, an old coaching and market town whose inns and cafes feed the market crowd and the trade estates nearby. 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 Shifnal kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Shifnal and the wider Shropshire, including the High Street and the market, the church end, and the trade units toward Telford. 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 Shropshire 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 Shropshire.
