Kitchen extract systems are the most complex and problematic commercial ventilation systems, with canopies, filters, fans and sometimes odour and noise control units as well. Supply air systems, which are needed to replace the volume of air removed by extract fans, usually consist of fans, grilles, air diffusers, and sometimes filters and heat recovery units. Crystal surface Leeds can clean, inspect and report on commercial ventilation systems in kitchens, washrooms, laundry rooms and more.

Kitchen Extraction & Ductwork Cleaning Leeds

Cooking in commercial kitchens will over time generate grease deposits to the internal surfaces of the ventilation system. If not removed, this will reduce airflow and greatly increase the risk of fire.

Two major examples of this were the fires that caused the closure of South Mimms Services on the M25 and Heathrow Terminal 1 fires. Both fires were spread through the extraction system ductwork from catering establishments.

The B&ES TR19 Guide to Good Practice* recommends regular specialist cleaning of kitchen extract systems based on usage. For insurance purposes, adherence to the guidelines can serve as verification that the ventilation system has been properly cleaned and well maintained.

At a recent seminar a fire authority representative stated "Uncleaned grease extract ventilation systems present probably the greatest potential fire risk in buildings with catering facilities".

Insurers require that a fire risk assessment has been carried out and that evidence is available to show that the grease extractor systems have been inspected or cleaned by a professional contractor at the appropriate intervals, as recommended by HVCA, BSRIA and ABI.

At Crystal Surface we understand the importance of offering flexibility to our clients and operate a 7 days a week, 24 hour working programme to help with your business needs.
