Why Darlington kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning
Extract ductwork in Darlington rarely fails suddenly — it degrades quietly, one shift of frying at a time.
Working across County Durham, our engineers dismantle the canopy, hand-scrub plenum and duct surfaces, clean impellers and housings, and photograph every stage.
Reports are issued within 24 hours, so Darlington operators can file evidence the same week the work is done.
Because Darlington has a strong presence of hotel kitchens, most of our work here happens overnight or on closed days, with keys, alarm codes and access agreed in writing beforehand.
Darlington population approx. 93,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our County Durham base.
We set Darlington cleaning frequencies from actual cooking hours: 12+ hours a day means quarterly, 6-12 hours six-monthly, under 6 hours annual.
Fixed written quotes for Darlington sites from £275, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

Booked them after our insurer asked for a TR/19 certificate we did not have. Crew arrived in Darlington at 11pm, stripped the canopy and duct, and the report with before-and-after photos landed the next morning. Would use again without hesitating.

Quoted a fixed price after a free survey, no hourly creep, and they worked around our closed day so we lost no covers. Fair price for the amount of work involved.

Filters came back looking new, the plenum was spotless and the kitchen was left cleaner than they found it. Now on a six-monthly schedule. Already booked the next visit.

FAQs
Extractor fan cleaning in Darlington — your questions
How long does a clean take in Darlington?
A standard Darlington kitchen takes one overnight shift. Larger hotel or production kitchens in County Durham are usually phased across two or three nights so parts of the kitchen stay usable.
Can you prove the system is actually clean?
We take wet-film deposit readings before and after, at fixed points marked on a schematic of your Darlington system, so results are comparable visit to visit.
Do you service filters and grease traps too?
Yes. Baffle and mesh filters are soak-tanked, and we can supply replacements plus a filter-swap schedule for your Darlington site.
What if I fail an inspection before you arrive?
Tell us it is urgent. We hold capacity across North East for remedial cleans and can normally get a crew to Darlington within 48 hours with a same-week certificate.
