Why Clean?

Why do vent shafts and air ducts need to be professionally cleaned?

Commercial kitchen extract systems and ventilation systems do, very quickly and through continual use, build up potentially dangerous and hazardous thick layers of grime and grease which acts like a glue capturing dust and particles from the air and any other items light enough to enter ventilation shafts.  These begin to clog your ventilation system and can become a fire hazard and specifically in commercial properties and food kitchens, ventilation and extractor cleaning should be carried out regularly as it is a legal requirement. These pockets tend to hide in areas of the system a general clean can’t reach and usually require a professional to cut indoors in the system in order to reach every section and corner.

Why should you have your ventilation and extraction system cleaned?

Maintain ventilation efficiency and keep your premises as a healthy working environment

To comply with fire and safety regulations

To comply with insurance terms

To maintain a safe working environment for your staff

For compliance, the proper cleaning and maintenance of ventilation systems also require documented evidence that they have been deep cleaned on a regular basis.
Often, after a claim, and to keep your insurance payments as low as possible, insurance companies require evidence that regular, certificated, professional cleaning of your ventilation and extractor fan systems have been carried out before paying out on insurance claims.
