Duct Cleaning & Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Galashiels
TR19 extract cleaning quotes for Galashiels and across the Scottish Borders, arranged through a specialist provider with a certificate every visit.
Galashiels, known locally as Gala, is a major commercial centre for the Scottish Borders with around 10,060 residents. Textiles grew it from 800 people at the start of the 19th century to 19,553 by 1890, and the early 2000s brought Asda, Tesco Extra, McDonald's and Subway, mostly onto former mill and industrial estate sites. The Borders Railway linked the town with Edinburgh in September 2015, and the Great Tapestry of Scotland visitor centre, with a café, opened in 2021. Every summer the Braw Lads' Gathering parades riders through the town.
Takeaways frying from teatime to late evening often cook 6 to 12 hours a day, which TR19 sets at six-monthly cleaning; 12 to 16 hours means quarterly cleaning, and 2 to 6 hours yearly. Where a shop sits below flats, the duct may rise through the building, so access needs agreeing early. Scottish Borders Council inspects food businesses under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme, which gives a Pass or Improvement Required. Once the duct cleaning is finished, the specialist provider issues the certificate. We arrange TR19 extract cleaning quotes all over Gala, from Market Square to Netherdale.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a kitchen in Galashiels have its extract cleaned?
TR19 Grease sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every three months for 12 to 16 hours a day, every six months for 6 to 12 hours and every twelve months for 2 to 6 hours. Scottish Government fire safety guidance says grease building up in kitchen extract systems and ducting can be a source of fire and of fire spread, and asks for a cleaning and maintenance programme that removes it. The provider confirms the right interval for your kitchen from the grease readings at each visit.
