Overview.
Laundry Ductwork Cleaning
Laundry duct cleaning is essential for preventing fire hazards and maintaining efficient airflow in any setting that uses commercial tumble dryers. We help care homes, hotels, hospitals and launderettes stay safe and compliant.
Lint, fibres and debris quickly build up in laundry extract systems. Without regular cleaning, these materials can easily ignite, leading to costly and dangerous fires. Aside from the fire risk, clogged ducts cause inefficient drying, wasted energy, and poor air quality.

Standards We Work To.
The Benchmarks This Service Is Completed To
- BESA TR19®
Laundry extract is treated as a combustible-deposit system and cleaned and verified to the same evidenced standard as grease extract.
- Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
Lint is a known ignition source; regular documented cleaning discharges the Responsible Person's duty to manage that risk.
- BS 9999
Fire safety design guidance requires ventilation and extract systems to be maintained so they do not contribute to fire spread.
- Insurer risk-assessment requirements
Certification is presented in the format policy conditions require for tumble dryer and laundry extract maintenance.
- Dryer manufacturer specifications
Cleaning intervals and airflow tolerances follow the equipment maker's guidance to protect warranty and drying efficiency.
The Risks of Leaving It.
What Happens If It's Not Cleaned.
Lint fire
Lint and fibre in a tumble-dryer extract run is one of the most frequent ignition sources in laundry buildings; once lit, fire spreads rapidly through risers and voids.
Insurance & risk-assessment failure
Insurers and fire risk assessors expect documented cleaning of combustible-deposit extract systems; missing records can void cover.
Dryer overheating & damage
Restricted airflow causes dryers to overheat, lengthening drying times, wasting energy and tripping thermal cut-outs or burning out motors.
