Duct Cleaning · Whitefield
Whitefield kitchens - the Bury New Road takeaways, the precinct cafes and the pub kitchens towards Unsworth - run grease up concealed ductwork. We clean and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease.
Answer a few quick questions about your Whitefield canopy, filters and ducting for a guide price on stripping and degreasing the extract system - no measuring, no site visit.
Try the cost calculatorWhitefield sits on Bury New Road between Prestwich and Bury by junction 17 of the M60, a residential town whose trade gathers at its precinct and along the road. The takeaways of Bury New Road, the precinct cafes and the pub kitchens towards Unsworth all vent through extract ductwork carrying hot, grease-laden air from the canopy to a hidden roof outlet.
It sits in a Bury of some 1,230 rated food premises, and the hazard in each is the concealed stretch of duct above a ceiling or up a riser - out of sight until an insurer or fire risk assessor asks for proof it has been cleaned. We clean and certify commercial grease, ventilation and laundry ductwork across Whitefield to TR19 Grease, cutting access panels where a run is sealed and leaving the certificate and photographs for your file.
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 Whitefield 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.
A Bury New Road restaurant ran a long duct hidden above the ceiling. We surveyed it, fitted access panels and cleaned it end to end around service, documenting the run for the file.
A Whitefield precinct takeaway had a vertical riser furred with grease behind the kitchen. We opened it with compliant panels, cleaned it to bare metal from canopy to fan, and set the interval to its frying 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.
Bury New Road and the precinct carry Whitefield's trade, cafes and takeaways sitting close, so one neglected duct threatens the units either side. We clean and certify the whole system to keep a Whitefield kitchen fire-safe for its neighbours as well as itself.
Yes. We work throughout Whitefield and the wider Greater Manchester, including Bury New Road and the Whitefield precinct, the parades towards Besses and Unsworth, and the trade units by junction 17 of the M60. 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.
