Duct Cleaning · Thundersley
Thundersley's kitchens - the Tarpots parade takeaways and the local restaurants - push grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole run to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Thundersley canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorThundersley sits above the Thames estuary between Hadleigh and South Benfleet, its trade centred on the busy Tarpots parade. The takeaways and restaurants at Tarpots and along Kents Hill Road all run extract ductwork that carries hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a concealed roof outlet.
As one of Castle Point Borough Council's 537 rated premises, a Thundersley kitchen holds its fire risk in the hidden part of that run - a boxed-in riser, a duct above a ceiling - unseen until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks to see it cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Thundersley to TR19 Grease, fitting 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 Thundersley 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 takeaway on the Tarpots parade had a vertical riser packed with grease behind the kitchen. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal from canopy to fan, and set its interval to its frying hours.
A Kents Hill Road restaurant ran a long horizontal duct above the ceiling to a side fan, undocumented and untouched. We surveyed it, cleaned the accessible length and fitted panels where it was boxed in, then set its interval to its hours.
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.
The Tarpots junction is the heart of Thundersley's trade, a cluster of takeaways and shops where kitchens sit close together and one neglected duct is a risk to the businesses either side. We clean and certify the whole system so a Thundersley kitchen is safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Thundersley and the wider Essex, including the Tarpots shopping parade and Kents Hill Road, the village and the Common, and out toward Hadleigh and South Benfleet. 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 Essex 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 Essex.
