UK-Based Specialists in Internal Ducting Cleaning
APT ICC provides specialist internal ducting cleaning services across England and Wales, supporting manufacturing, food processing, baking, woodworking, and industrial facilities that rely on extraction and ventilation systems to operate safely and efficiently. Internal ducting cleaning focuses on removing contamination that naturally builds up inside ductwork during day-to-day operations.
This service is sometimes referred to as extraction system cleaning, ventilation duct cleaning, or exhaust duct cleaning. While the terminology varies, the purpose remains the same: to remove harmful and restrictive build-up from inside ducting systems so air can flow freely and safely.
APT ICC removes a wide range of contaminants commonly found inside ducting, including thick grease deposits, oil vapour, carbon residue, resin build-up, wood fibres, sawdust, and fine airborne dust. These materials often come from ovens, machining processes, woodworking equipment, and production lines, and can quickly accumulate inside ducting if not managed properly.
Internal ducting cleaning is commonly required in factories, bakeries, food production sites, woodworking facilities, and industrial environments where extraction systems are essential for safety and process control. If left untreated, contamination inside ducting can reduce system efficiency, increase fire risk, and lead to hygiene or compliance issues.
APT ICC cleans all types of ducting and extraction systems, from localised machine extraction to large, complex duct runs serving entire production areas. Every project is assessed in advance to determine access, contamination levels, and the safest cleaning approach. Works are carefully planned to allow cleaning to take place in live environments with minimal disruption to operations.
With over 35 years’ experience, APT ICC is trusted to deliver internal ducting cleaning in demanding and sensitive settings. Recent projects include ducting cleaning at Permali in Gloucester, extraction system cleaning for the Bolted Frame Company in Magor, and internal ducting cleaning works for AER Limited in Maerdy. All services are delivered under strict health, safety, and environmental controls, ensuring reliable, high-quality results across England and Wales.
“I would like to express my sincere thanks to APT for the excellent job they carried out at Tai Bach. The project was a much needed one and now that it is completed it has really helped to improve the look of the town. We have received many good comments from the public which is always a good sign.”
Kevin Hiller - Property Surveyor, Neath & Port Talbot Council
“We employed the services of APT to renovate a Grade 2 Listed Building. Under the directive of Cadw we were not allowed to use any wet process or chemicals within the interior of the building. APT used Soda Blasting on sandstone, brick, ceramic glazed tiles, metal work, paintwork on ceilings, coving, woodwork and ornate fixtures.
It was a great achievement to have one system for all the surfaces that needed cleaning and restoring and one that also ticked all the boxes of the environmental and conservation officers. The process saved us both time & money in being able to have just one company on site. We are very grateful to APT for their hard work on this project.”
Tim Luke - Gee Construction
“I would like to thank APT-ICC for their excellent work and assistance on the Barclays Bank project. They delivered the scheme and additional works on time and without issue thanks to Andrew and his team for all your extra effort, long hours and commitment. I look forward to using them on future renovations.”
Graham Lowe - Project Manager, Overbury Plc
“We have been receiving an overwhelming number of positive comments about the war memorial cleaning. Yesterday, during the small ceremony at the Penrallt column on the 1st World War anniversary, many expressed their appreciation for how splendid the memorial looks after the cleaning. We anticipate sharing photos on the internet page later this week. Additionally, we have shared your details with another person who serves as the clerk to two other local councils. Thank you once again for the exceptional work.”

Internal ducting cleaning involves removing grease, dust, and process debris from inside extraction and ventilation systems. This helps keep airflow clear and systems working efficiently. It also reduces safety risks linked to built-up contamination.
Grease, dust, and fibres can build up inside ducting over time. If left untreated, this can increase fire risk and strain extraction systems. Regular cleaning helps reduce these risks and supports safer operations.
Common contaminants include grease, oil vapour, dust, sawdust, resin, and fine airborne particles. These materials are often produced during manufacturing, baking, or machining processes. Build-up can restrict airflow and reduce performance.
In many cases, yes. Work is carefully planned to allow cleaning to take place with minimal disruption to production. The approach depends on access, system layout, and operational requirements.
Basic visual checks may be done internally. Full internal ducting cleaning usually requires specialist equipment and trained operatives. This helps ensure contamination is properly removed and risks are managed.
Cleaning frequency depends on the process, materials handled, and system usage. High-grease or high-dust environments usually require more frequent cleaning. A site assessment helps determine an appropriate schedule.
APT ICC delivers internal ducting cleaning services across England and Wales. We support industrial and commercial facilities and can also advise on suitable professional cleaning chemicals where full cleaning services are not required.
