Why Cardiff kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning

Extract ductwork in Cardiff rarely fails suddenly — it degrades quietly, one shift of frying at a time.

We treat Cardiff sites as a system: canopy, filters, plenum, duct risers, fan housing and discharge point all get cleaned and verified, not just the parts you can see.

You keep a photographic record and certificate for each Cardiff kitchen, ready for insurance renewal or an unannounced inspection.

With around 372,000 residents, Cardiff supports a dense mix of student halls catering, leisure centre cafes, school and academy canteens, and each of those kitchens has a different extract layout. We size the crew to the site rather than sending a one-van fits-all team.

Cardiff population approx. 372,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our South Glamorgan base.

Heavy-use kitchens in Cardiff — high-volume frying, charcoal grills, wok ranges — usually need quarterly cleaning. Moderate use is six-monthly and light use annual.

Fixed written quotes for Cardiff sites from £290, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

Reviews

What Cardiff kitchens say about us

5.0

Average from 69 verified kitchen extract jobs in and around Cardiff

Our extract fan had almost stopped pulling and the kitchen was filling with smoke every service. They cleaned the impeller and housing, checked the airflow, and it is like a different kitchen. Honest about what needed doing and what did not.

General Manager, Cardiff banqueting venue

We had no access panels on the main duct riser. They cleaned everything reachable, marked the rest on a schematic and fitted compliant hatches on the return visit. Paperwork was exactly what our broker wanted.
Gareth Whitaker
Kitchen Manager, Cardiff brasserie

Straight talking, turned up when they said, and the paperwork was genuinely useful at insurance renewal rather than a one-line receipt. Whole team was tidy and professional.

FAQs

Extractor fan cleaning in Cardiff — your questions

Is duct cleaning a legal requirement in Cardiff?

Fire safety law requires you to manage grease build-up, and most insurers write TR/19 Grease compliance into your policy. In practice, South Glamorgan environmental health teams and your insurer both expect documented cleaning for any Cardiff kitchen with a commercial extract system.

What happens if my ductwork has no access panels?

We survey the Cardiff system, clean everything reachable, and quote separately for fitting compliant access hatches so the whole run can be certified next time.

Do you clean the extract fan itself?

Yes — impeller, housing, motor casing and discharge are all stripped, degreased and rebalanced where needed. A clogged impeller is the usual reason a Cardiff kitchen feels smoky.

Are your engineers insured and vetted?

All 17 engineers covering Cardiff are directly employed, DBS-checked where required, IPAF/PASMA trained for work at height and covered by £10m public liability.
