Built-Up Lint, Built-Up Risk
Laundry extract systems move hot, moisture-laden air through ducts. Over time, they collect lint, fibres and dust, the perfect fuel for a fire. Our cleaning service removes these deposits to help reduce risk, improve airflow and keep your system working as it should.
We clean ducting and extract equipment in commercial laundries, hotels, care homes, hospitals and industrial laundry facilities.
Blocked Ducts and Fire Risks
Lint is one of the most flammable materials you’ll find in a commercial building. If it builds up in your ductwork, it doesn't just reduce ventilation and slow down drying times. It becomes a real fire hazard. Cleaning helps prevent:
Fires caused by heat and lint build-up
System breakdowns or poor drying performance
Increased energy use due to blocked airflow
Failures during inspections or insurance assessments
Odours caused by trapped moisture and residue
Most systems need cleaning every six to twelve months, depending on usage and layout.
Issues We Help Prevent
Regular cleaning keeps the system safe, efficient and compliant. When laundry ductwork is left uncleaned, it can create problems fast. Common issues we’re called in to deal with include:
The Process
We clean the ducting, filters, grilles and fans connected to your laundry extract system. This is done using manual and mechanical tools designed to break down lint build-up and clear the full length of the system.
