Your kitchen’s HVAC system doesn’t take days off. Neither should your maintenance. Our maintenance contracts ensure your extraction fans, ductwork, and ventilation systems stay in peak condition, preventing the costly emergencies that shut down your operation.
When your extraction system cleaning certificate expires, the risks go far beyond a dirty kitchen
Result: Clients on maintenance contracts spend 60% less annually on HVAC repairs vs. emergency-only service.

Why Annual Works:
We evaluate your HVAC system, kitchen volume, equipment condition, and current maintenance gaps. No cost, no obligation. This assessment determines your ideal service frequency.
Based on your kitchen type (fast food, fine dining, catering), operating hours, and usage patterns, we recommend a maintenance schedule and provide a personalised quote.
Service happens on agreed dates. Appointments are scheduled around your operating hours to minimise disruption. Most deep cleans take 2-4 hours.
After every visit, you receive documentation of work completed, parts replaced, any issues identified, and compliance status. Your records for HSE and insurance.
Between scheduled maintenance, any issues receive priority response. Most problems are caught during maintenance, before they become emergencies.
HVAC & Kitchen Maintenance Questions Answered
Quarterly service (4x per year) is ideal for high-volume kitchens—catches issues quickly, maintains peak performance. Bi-annual (2x per year) works well for medium-volume operations—provides solid prevention at lower cost. Annual inspections are for low-volume kitchens—provides baseline safety checks at minimal investment.
We assess your kitchen’s operating hours, equipment type, and usage patterns. As a general rule: 40+ hours/week = Quarterly. 20-40 hours/week = Bi-annual. Under 20 hours/week = Annual. Contact us for a free assessment and we’ll recommend the optimal plan for your specific situation.
