Duct Cleaning Leeds Sheffield York - Fire Hazards
Many people don’t give a second thought to what is lurking in their air ducts. The heat comes on, the building warms up, and that’s all that most people are concerned about. However, as dirt and dust accumulate in the ducts, this can become a serious health and fire hazard. As dust and grease build up in your ducts they create a kitchen fire risk. The only way to prevent this problem is to have your ducts cleaned and regular duct maintenance performed. Duct Cleaning Crystal Surface is a cleaning service specialising in cleaning and maintaining all types of ventilation and ducting systems. We operate in Leeds, surrounding counties in the North East, including Sheffield, York, Lincoln , Grimsby, Hull, Doncaster and across the UK.
In recent years, the UK has seen an increase in fires caused by dirty, greasy air ducts. Any business that operates a kitchen faces an increased kitchen fire risk. As a business owner you face not only a moral obligation to keep the ducts clean through effective cleaning and regular duct maintenance, you also have a legal responsibility to do so. The Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, establishes that “Employers and Persons concerned with premises owe the common duty of care both to employees and others who may use or visit the premises”. Section 2 (2) (e) explains that the law “Requires that you as an employer, provide and maintain a working environment that is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health.”
If you are unsure about the cleanliness of your ductwork contact Duct Cleaning Crystal Surface Leeds to receive professional, high quality duct cleaning services. All our work meets the TR/19 standards set by the Heating and Ventilating Contractors' Association, so you are assured of a high standard of cleaning for your ducting and air conditioning ventilation systems.
While most people know that grease fires can start on the stove, they don’t always realise that they can also start in the ducts. Regular duct maintenance by a fully insured cleaning service is necessary to prevent the grease entering the ducts from building up and starting a fire. A fire in a duct can quickly spread throughout the areas of a building, creating a dangerous situation. There is a risk of injury or death from such fires, and the legal liability for a business owner who does not have regular cleaning performed is equally great. Under sections 5 and 6 of The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers have a legal obligation to employees to ensure their ductwork is kept clean, thus business owners should get their ductwork cleaned by a professional cleaning company like Duct Cleaning Crystal Surface Leeds.

We are fully trained and provide a professional service to ensure your ductwork is clean, helping reduce the risk of fire.
Duct Cleaning for Odours & Smells
Any business professional knows that unpleasant odours and smells permeating through a business site will make clients and employees eager to leave the area as quickly as possible, decreasing productivity and sales.

Regular duct maintenance provided by a fully insured cleaning service, such as Duct Cleaning Leeds - Crystal Surface, can help eliminate these odours and smells from affected buildings.
Having your ducts cleaned on a regular basis by Duct Cleaning Leeds - Crystal Surface can reduce the amount of dust, dirt and grime found in your business' ducting and ventilation systems, reducing unpleasant odours. Clean ducts also minimise the kitchen fire risk experienced by many businesses that prepare food. Kitchen cleaning for restaurants and schools should only be performed by a reliable, professional and fully insured cleaning service, such as Duct Cleaning Leeds - Crystal Surface, because of the large amount of potentially harmful particles present in the ducting systems, as a result of the extensive food preparation that occurs in these locations on a daily basis.
