Duct Cleaning · Stone
From the the High Street inns to the canalside pubs and the care homes, Stone 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 Stone canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorThere is far more ductwork behind Stone than the street shows. Grease-laden air climbs out of the pub, cafe and restaurant kitchens and the care homes; the offices, the brewery buildings and the A34 trade units rely on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that fills with flammable lint.
Above most of those kitchens runs an extract a surface wipe never reaches. Stone sits under Stafford Borough Council and its 1,134 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 Stone: the High Street and Crown Wharf, the Trent and Mersey Canal, and out to the trade units off the A34. We survey the full route, fit compliant access where a sealed run has none, and clean every internal metre back to bare metal.
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 Stone 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 canalside bar at Crown Wharf in Stone, 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, leaving the responsible person a certificate and the readings.
At a primary school in Stone, one hood fed a brief run to an external fan and it was quietly overdue a clean. We worked the hood, baffles and short run back to clean metal, with a certificate and before-and-after photographs for the fire file.
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.
Stone grew as a canal and brewing town where the Trent and Mersey Canal runs through the centre, and its High Street inns and Crown Wharf bars still cook for the boaters and the market crowd. 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 Stone kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Stone and the wider Staffordshire, including the High Street and Crown Wharf, the Trent and Mersey Canal, and out to the trade units off the A34. 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 Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire.
