Catering Hygiene Specialist

If you have a commercial kitchen then your risk assessment should include regular ductwork cleaning to satisfy the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The majority of kitchen fires start within the ductwork, so regular cleaning is an integral part of your risk reduction strategy. We also clean air ductwork in accordance to the requirements of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

We're externally audited to ensure our kitchen cleaning meets health & safety legislation. No matter how effective your daily, weekly or monthly cleaning routines are there will be a progressive accumulation of soil. Particularly grease on less accessible surfaces like canopies, ducts, light fittings, floors, walls behind equipment and ceilings.

No matter how efficient your canopy filters are at trapping grease particles, it is inevitable that grease deposits will start building up within the kitchen extraction and canopy. If you don't undertake duct cleaning on a regular basis, over time the grease will become baked on and carbonised.

This is extremely difficult to remove, thus reducing the effectiveness of the extraction system, shortening the ducting and fan's life and creating a serious fire hazard within the kitchen.In addition bacteria will develop in the fatty moist deposits, this is hazardous to health and a food source for cockroaches.

We are members of the B&ES all ventilation duct cleaning is in compliance with B&ES TR/19. Most non-domestic premises have ventilation or air conditioning installed, with ducting running through the building. Dust and debris accumulates in the ducts and becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mould.

We're externally audited to ensure our work is in accordance to health & safety legislation. How often do you check your dryer vents? Most people presume their lint traps catch all the lint and maybe empty the trap after each load, once a week or only when it overflows. Dryers produce very large quantities of lint, which is highly flammable.
