Abbots Langley ductwork cleaning

What the work involves, part by part

Horizontal duct runs

The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.

Vertical risers

In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Grease, kitchens and Abbots Langley

Food Standards Agency data counts about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 sandwich bars and takeaways in Abbots Langley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Abbots Langley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Abbots Langley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Three Rivers council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence the Martyr or elsewhere in Abbots Langley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Tanners Wood Junior Mixed and Infant School or anywhere near Abbots Langley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Leavesden Hospital (about 0.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
