Ducting & Ventilation Cleaning
Duct cleaning and ventilation hygiene across Ireland, including TR19 kitchen extract systems, air handling units and commercial ventilation networks.
Duct cleaning and ventilation hygiene across Ireland
Poor ventilation hygiene affects indoor air quality, energy efficiency and fire safety—yet ductwork remains out of sight and out of mind until an audit, insurance renewal or kitchen fire forces the issue. Ryak provides duct cleaning across Ireland with TR19-compliant kitchen extract cleaning, air duct cleaning for commercial buildings, and air handling unit programmes backed by photographic evidence and certification.
From Dublin restaurants and hotel kitchens to healthcare facilities, schools and office blocks nationwide, our ventilation hygiene teams address the full duct network—not just the visible canopy. Every project is planned around access constraints, documented to audit standard, and delivered by directly employed specialists you can reference when the fire officer or environmental health officer calls.
What is included in our duct cleaning service
Duct cleaning scope depends on your installation and compliance requirements, agreed during a structured site survey. Our programmes include kitchen extract and grease duct cleaning to TR19 with canopy, filter and fan unit degreasing, air handling unit cleaning including coil, filter and plenum chamber hygiene, supply and extract ductwork inspection and cleaning, before and after photographic reporting, and compliance documentation for fire, hygiene and insurance audits.
Access planning for restricted ceiling voids, shared ductwork and multi-tenant buildings is handled in advance so there are no surprises on the day of the clean. For comprehensive kitchen hygiene, duct cleaning complements our commercial kitchen cleaning service. Industrial facilities with complex ventilation networks benefit from coordination with our industrial cleaning team.
Why choose Ryak for duct cleaning in Ireland
Facilities managers and catering operators choose Ryak because we specialise in ventilation hygiene rather than treating duct cleaning as an add-on to general cleaning. Our teams understand TR19 requirements, produce certification that insurers and fire assessors accept, and photograph every clean so you have evidence retained for audits and renewals.
With duct cleaning ranking as a priority search term across Ireland, choosing an accredited contractor with documented processes matters. We employ our own trained operatives, assign dedicated project coordination for multi-site programmes, and schedule cleans out of hours for restaurants, hotels and healthcare kitchens that cannot afford daytime disruption.
Compliance, TR19 certification and our process
Every duct cleaning project follows a structured process aligned with TR19 and industry best practice. We survey the installation, agree access methods, produce method statements and RAMS, and schedule work during agreed windows—typically overnight for active kitchens. Canopy interiors, filter banks, duct runs and fan units are stripped, degreased and cleaned using methods appropriate to your system configuration.
On completion you receive TR19-compliant reports with before and after photographs, measurements where required, and recommendations for follow-up frequency based on cooking volume and grease accumulation rates. Air duct cleaning projects for offices and healthcare facilities include similar documentation detailing areas cleaned and standards applied. Explore our food production sector cleaning programmes where ventilation hygiene integrates with wider HACCP requirements.

Frequently asked questions
How often should ductwork be cleaned in Ireland?
Kitchen extract systems typically require TR19-compliant cleaning at least annually, with high-volume cooking operations in hotels, restaurants and food production facilities needing quarterly or six-monthly intervals. Air handling units and supply ductwork frequency depends on building use, filtration standards and audit requirements.
Do you clean air handling units as well as kitchen extract?
Yes. We clean air handling units, supply and extract ductwork across commercial, healthcare and industrial buildings throughout Ireland. AHU cleaning improves air quality, energy efficiency and compliance with ventilation hygiene standards expected by facilities managers and environmental auditors.
What is TR19 duct cleaning and why does it matter?
TR19 is the industry standard for grease extract hygiene in commercial kitchens. Insurance providers, fire risk assessors and environmental health officers expect evidence that extract systems have been cleaned to this standard. Our duct cleaning includes TR19-compliant reports with before and after photographs and certification suitable for audits.
Do you provide air duct cleaning for office buildings?
Yes. Air duct cleaning for office and commercial buildings covers supply and extract ductwork, air handling units, grilles and diffusers. Clean ventilation systems support indoor air quality, reduce energy consumption from blocked coils and filters, and demonstrate due diligence to building occupiers and landlords.
Can you access ductwork in restricted ceiling voids?
We plan access methods during site survey across Ireland, using inspection hatches, rope access, mobile platforms or confined space entry as appropriate for your building. Method statements and RAMS are produced before work commences, particularly in healthcare and food production environments where contamination control and audit documentation are critical.
Do you cover all of Ireland for duct cleaning?
Yes. Our Dublin-based specialist teams deploy nationwide for duct cleaning and ventilation hygiene projects. Whether your kitchen extract serves a single Dublin restaurant or a multi-site hotel group, you receive the same TR19 standards, documentation and photographic evidence on every clean.
