Almost 70% of commercial kitchen fires originate in extraction canopies and ductwork. Grease deposits are highly flammable – a small flame from chargrilling or flambéing can ignite built-up grease and track rapidly through ductwork with devastating consequences.
Extraction systems have been known to catch fire even after kitchens close, as residual heat from cooling equipment builds in grease-laden canopies. Regular deep cleaning eliminates this risk.
Grease deposits inside ventilation systems harbour bacteria. Contaminated grease can drip from canopies onto cooking surfaces, creating a serious food safety hazard. Environmental health officers check extraction systems during inspections – visible grease buildup or missing certification can result in enforcement action.
Most commercial kitchen insurance policies require current TR19 certification. Without valid documentation, claims related to fire or equipment damage may be rejected. Our cleaning reports provide the evidence your insurer needs.
Clogged filters reduce airflow, forcing fans to work harder and shortening motor lifespan. Grease buildup on fan blades causes imbalance, leading to bearing wear and premature failure. Clean systems run more efficiently and last longer. If we spot mechanical issues during your clean, our emergency fan repair team [LINK] can often resolve them on the same visit.
We assess your system's condition, identify access points and photograph existing grease levels for your compliance records.
Kitchen surfaces and equipment are sheeted to prevent contamination. Access panels are opened or created where needed.
