Duct Cleaning · Tamworth
From the Ankerside kitchens to the labs, offices and Amington sheds, Tamworth 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 Tamworth canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorTamworth runs a great deal of ductwork the town never sees. The restaurants of the Ankerside centre and the town centre, the castle-grounds kitchens, and the trade-estate canteens push grease-laden air up through kitchen extract; the offices, the research labs and works and the college buildings depend on dry supply and extract air-handling; and the hotels and launderettes run laundry ducting that packs with lint.
Behind a great share of those kitchens sits an extract system a canopy wipe never touches. Tamworth falls under Tamworth Borough Council, whose remit takes in 525 rated premises across the borough - and grease ductwork is a fire matter as much as a hygiene one. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 the responsible person has to keep it clean to a standard a certificate can show, whether the run climbs out of an Ankerside kitchen or an Amington unit.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Tamworth: from the Ankerside centre and the town centre to the castle grounds and the Amington and Lichfield Road industrial estates. 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 Tamworth we work to that one standard, whether the run climbs out of a busy restaurant kitchen or a care-home laundry.
Extract ductwork from fryers, grills and ranges coats itself in combustible grease along every hidden section to the roof fan. We clean the complete run to TR19 Grease and record post-clean readings.
Supply and general extract ductwork fills with dust, debris and mould that throttles airflow and spreads contamination. We clean and inspect dry ductwork so it actually ventilates.
Tumble-dryer and launderette ducting packs with lint, one of the most flammable build-ups in any building - common in hotels, inns and care homes, and easily overlooked until it is a fire.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
At a trade-estate staff canteen on Amington near Tamworth, the ventilation ductwork over the servery and kitchen had silted with dust and lost draw. We brushed and vacuumed the branch runs, cleared and reseated the diffusers, and renewed the tired panel filters, so the ventilation came back across the canteen and the paperwork reflected the whole system.
At a restaurant in the Ankerside centre, a heavy kitchen ran its grease extract up a concealed riser to a roof fan with access reaching only the first length. We cut compliant hatches into the boxed sections, cleaned the full run from canopy to fan back to bare metal, and logged grease-depth readings before and after. The system came back clean and certified, with a photo record 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.
Tamworth was the capital of Anglo-Saxon Mercia, and its great Norman castle still stands over the meeting of the Tame and the Anker - the town that also gave its name to the Tamworth pig and, in the Snowdome, one of the country's first indoor real-snow slopes. The Ankerside and town-centre kitchens that feed the town cook flat out, and the grease their extract carries banks unseen in the concealed run. We work around service so a Tamworth kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Tamworth and the wider Staffordshire, including the Ankerside centre and the town centre to the castle grounds and the Amington and Lichfield Road industrial estates. 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.
