Duct Cleaning · Walkden
From the the Ellesmere Centre cafes to the Bolton Road pubs and the care homes, Walkden 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 Walkden canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.

The kitchens of its pubs, cafes, restaurants and care homes drive grease up through the extract; the offices, the Towngate Business Centre units and the Manchester Road West estate units turn over dry supply and extract air; and its hotels and laundries run lint-packed dryer ducting.
Behind a great share of those kitchens sits an extract system a canopy wipe never touches. Walkden falls under Salford City Council, whose remit takes in 2,093 rated premises across the county - 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.
We clean and certify the whole system - grease, dry and laundry - right across Walkden: the Ellesmere Centre and Bolton Road, the town centre, and the Towngate Business Centre on Manchester Road West. 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 Walkden 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 canteen serving the Towngate Business Centre in Walkden, a low horizontal run carried the grease the length of the building to a roof fan. We traced the route, added access panels along it and cleaned every internal metre, leaving the certificate and photographs for the record.
At a secondary school in Walkden, the kitchen was smaller but the duty the same, the run lightly but steadily greased. We worked the hood, baffles and short run back to clean metal, with photographs and a certificate the fire file can show.
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.
Walkden runs its shops around the Ellesmere Centre on Bolton Road in a revamped town centre, with the Towngate Business Centre on the old Lucozade factory site, a town whose cafes and pubs and the business-centre canteens keep it fed and working. 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 Walkden kitchen is cleaned, certified and back in action without losing covers.
Yes. We work throughout Walkden and the wider Greater Manchester, including the Ellesmere Centre and Bolton Road, the town centre, and the Towngate Business Centre on Manchester Road West. 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 Greater Manchester 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 Greater Manchester.
