Professional cleaning of commercial tumble dryer and laundry extraction systems across Cornwall. We remove lint build up, improve airflow and reduce fire risk in hotels, care homes, schools and commercial premises.
Lint is highly flammable and accumulates rapidly inside commercial tumble dryer ductwork. Over time, restricted airflow causes dryers to operate at higher temperatures, increasing wear on equipment and significantly raising fire risk.
In hotels, care homes, schools and hospitality venues, laundry systems often run daily and for extended periods. Without routine duct cleaning, lint build up can spread throughout horizontal runs, vertical risers and external discharge points.
Regular professional cleaning improves airflow efficiency, reduces drying times and supports safe operation of the entire extract system.

Our commercial laundry extract cleaning service covers the full duct system from appliance connection through to external discharge points. We do not just clean visible lint traps - we address the entire airflow route.
• Tumble dryer duct runs
• Internal lint build up in horizontal and vertical ductwork
• Booster and inline extract fans
• External louvres and discharge grilles
• Access panels and inspection points
Where access allows, we mechanically remove lint deposits and ensure airflow is restored to safe operating levels.
Regular laundry extract duct cleaning forms part of responsible building maintenance and fire risk management. Excess lint build up restricts airflow and can allow heat to concentrate within the duct system, increasing the potential for ignition.
We recommend scheduled inspections and cleaning based on system usage, particularly in high demand environments such as hotels, care homes, boarding schools and hospitality venues.
Based in Probus, SMS Duct Cleaning works with commercial premises throughout Truro, Newquay, St Austell, Falmouth, Penzance, Saltash and across Cornwall. We provide documented cleaning reports to support maintenance records and insurance requirements.


Professional laundry extract duct cleaning improves airflow efficiency, supports safe system operation and reduces unnecessary fire risk. If your commercial laundry system operates daily or for extended hours, routine duct cleaning should form part of your planned maintenance schedule.
We also provide full kitchen extraction cleaning, commercial filter replacement and supply air system cleaning across Cornwall, allowing you to manage all ventilation hygiene through one specialist contractor.
The required cleaning frequency depends on how heavily the tumble dryers are used. Sites operating daily such as hotels, care homes and commercial laundries typically require regular maintenance to prevent lint build up. We assess usage levels and recommend a cleaning schedule that supports safe operation and reduces fire risk.
Lint is highly combustible. When it accumulates inside ductwork and around fans, it restricts airflow and significantly increases the risk of overheating and fire. Regular duct cleaning removes this hidden build up and helps maintain safe, efficient dryer performance.
We clean the full extract route including internal ductwork, vertical and horizontal runs, access panels, fans and external discharge points. Our service focuses on removing lint accumulation throughout the entire system, not just the visible sections.
Yes. Restricted ductwork reduces airflow, which can lead to longer drying times, increased energy usage and unnecessary strain on equipment. Professional duct cleaning improves airflow efficiency and helps dryers operate more effectively.
Yes. We provide confirmation of work carried out along with photographic evidence where required. This supports your maintenance records and demonstrates responsible fire risk management.
