Colwyn Bay · TR19 Grease
We clean the full commercial duct run - grease, dry and laundry ductwork, canopy to roof fan - for kitchens, offices and industrial sites across Colwyn Bay, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Colwyn Bay
Colwyn Bay rates hundreds of food premises, and behind a large share sits an extract duct a canopy clean never reaches - plus the dry ductwork and air-handling that keep its offices and public buildings running.
Kitchens across Colwyn Bay work out of tight, mixed premises - Station Road, Sea View Road, Old Colwyn - their extract snaking through concealed voids to roof-mounted fans. We take the whole run to the TR19 Grease standard, hood to fan, reaching the horizontal legs and vertical risers a canopy wipe never touches.
Beyond the kitchens, we clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in hotels and care homes. High-output kitchens - hotel and holiday-park kitchens, college refectories, seafront cafes and the busy town-centre takeaways - lay grease down fast in exactly the concealed sections where a fire travels.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Colwyn Bay insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
The standard works in grease-film thickness, fixing the depth at which a run must be cleaned and re-tested. In the shared roof voids around Station Road and Old Colwyn, wiping the canopy and filters leaves the ductwork - the long concealed sections that gather grease and carry fire - untouched. We open the full Colwyn Bay run through existing and newly cut inspection hatches, strip it to bare metal, log grease-depth readings at fixed points before and after, and issue a TR19 Grease certificate with the post-clean depths recorded.
By system
The fire risk. Fried-food extract coats duct walls in combustible grease; cleaned canopy to fan and certified to TR19 Grease.
Supply and general extract in offices and public buildings, carrying dust and debris that throttles airflow and loads the air-handling unit; cleaned to TR19.
The hidden one. Tumble-dryer ducting packs with lint - highly combustible - in Colwyn Bay hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Colwyn Bay
We are in Colwyn Bay's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A much-loved church hall in Colwyn Bay had a heavy blanket of settled dust through the fresh-air ducting serving the building. We worked through the supply ducting with brushes and HEPA extraction, then cleaned and refitted the grilles. Air through the main rooms felt noticeably fresher, the dust complaints stopped and everything was back to normal by opening. We squeezed the job into a quiet closed day to suit the receptionist.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Colwyn Bay kitchen these are the tells.
A canopy dripping onto a Station Road cookline, cooking smells forced back to the tables, extraction that no longer clears the steam, grease showing at the filter edges, or a Colwyn Bay insurer or fire risk assessor wanting a TR19 certificate you have not got. How often it needs doing follows how hard you cook - a fast-frying Sea View Road kitchen far more than a daytime cafe - and the certificate names the interval, so the next visit is booked, not guessed.
How it runs
Inspect the full Colwyn Bay run, find the access gaps in the concealed sections, agree scope and frequency.
Fit inspection hatches where the run is sealed - common in the older Old Colwyn conversions - and protect the kitchen.
Canopy to roof fan, down to bare metal, with before-and-after grease-depth evidence.
TR19 Grease certificate, grease-depth record and next-due date for your Colwyn Bay fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Colwyn Bay operator to keep ductwork clean, and they reinforce one another.
Fire safety law. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for a Colwyn Bay premises must assess and manage fire risk. A grease-laden duct is one of the most serious risks in any catering building, because a flare-up on a Station Road cookline can travel the ductwork and spread fire through concealed voids. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the HSE reinforce the same duty of care.
Insurance. To a Colwyn Bay insurer a current TR19 Grease certificate is the proof the extract has been kept up. Let it lapse and a fire claim can be scaled back or declined outright - the kind of gap nobody wants to find with the kitchen already gutted.
Hygiene and environmental health. When Conwy County Borough Council carries out a food hygiene inspection it judges the physical state of the premises, and ventilation is part of that. A grease-choked extract can pull down the rating an Environmental Health Officer gives, on top of the odour and the weakening airflow your staff put up with.
It is set by cooking hours under TR19 Grease - roughly every three months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every six for moderate, every twelve for light. A hard-frying Station Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Sea View Road cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Colwyn Bay run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Sea View Road cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes. The fan at the top of an Old Colwyn or city-centre riser is where grease throws off the blades and the run ends - we degrease it and its housing, because a loaded fan is what finally stops a system pulling.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Station Road and Sea View Road kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
The full run, canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan - the hidden sections a canopy-only clean leaves loaded, which matters in the tight stock around Station Road and Old Colwyn where the runs are long and awkward.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Colwyn Bay offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Conwy hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Yes - from Station Road and Sea View Road kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Colwyn Bay and the wider Conwy.
Local knowledge
Colwyn Bay grew as a planned resort once the Chester and Holyhead Railway reached the coast in 1849 and the Pwllycrochan Estate began selling building plots in the 1870s, filling the crescent with hotels and boarding houses. Those grand buildings and the modern units that followed them hide their air inside sealed ductwork, where grease and debris build unseen until airflow fails or fire finds a path. We clean and inspect ventilation and extract ductwork across the town, then hand over photographic before-and-after evidence of every run.
