Build up of Grease
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.
The Extraction Cleaning Service
When undertaking a full extraction system clean, both the interior and exterior of the canopy hood is degreased thoroughly, with particular attention being paid behind the filters to reveal the plenum which is cleaned to arms length with in some cases magnetic scrapers. This is usually where the largest grease build up materializes, as it is so close to the heat source, it is imperative it’s cleaned. The filters are removed, soaked in a powerful cleaning solution, and then, rinsed and replaced, or exchanged at additional cost put on weekly or monthly cycle dependent on your level of grease build up.
If you have a commercial kitchen then your risk assessment should include regular duct work cleaning to satisfy the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) . The majority of kitchen fires start within the duct work, so regular cleaning is an integral part of your risk reduction strategy.
ACCESS PANEL INSTALLATION
Restaurants in buildings can become a fire hazard. When your business is located in a larger building or complex, such as a hotel, hospital, mall, airport or multi-storey residential development, the risks increase exponentially.
Fires are common in restaurants etc and typically start in the kitchen area. Cooking materials are the most frequent ‘first item’ ignited. Experience shows that the majority of kitchen fires will involve the kitchen exhaust hood or duct work. Kitchen exhaust fires can spread in a number of ways. A fire that originates within the kitchen or at the hood filters can spread into and up the duct work system, fuelled by the oil and grease within the duct. A fire within the duct can ignite combustible materials outside of the duct, via radiant heat transmission, or can ignite grease that has leaked out of duct seams, spreading the fire in the building..
