Maintain your standard of Ductwork cleanliness & fire safety

Importance of Ductwork Cleaning.

Over time, grease deposits will accumulate on the internal surfaces of the ventilation system in a commercial kitchen. Failure to clean the kitchen extract ventilation surfaces regularly poses an elevated health risk, not only due to odors and bacteria, but also because of the heightened fire hazard.


The B&ES TR19 Guide to Good Practice - Internal Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems is a comprehensive resource on maintaining the internal cleanliness of ventilation systems. It is essential for specifiers, consultants, and facilities managers responsible for ensuring proper maintenance of ventilation systems. TR19 sets the highest standards of best practices and offers a method of verification for insurance purposes to certify that the ventilation system in a building is clean and well-maintained.


Reporting

Following the kitchen extraction cleaning service, we will provide a comprehensive post-clean report typically delivered within 3 working days of service completion. The report includes:


  • Visual documentation confirming the cleanliness of the system.
  • WFTT test results pre and post-cleaning.
  • Areas identified as exclusion zones due to inaccessibility for cleaning purposes and reasons for exclusion.
  • Recommendations for system maintenance.
  • Pre and post-clean checklists.
  • TR19 certificate, if applicable.

Q&A's

  • Legal Implications

    Apart from hygiene and continued business considerations, there are potential legal implications to consider. If for example, fire investigators found that there were no access doors in the ductwork, making it impossible to clean, then the building owner could be guilty of negligence and face prosecution under the Health & Safety (Offences) Act 2009.

  • Why Extraction Cleaning is Vital ?

    The filters in the canopy act as a good “first line of defense” against grease deposition but still allow the smaller particles to pass into the extract ductwork system. These deposits will accumulate over time and can pose hygiene and fire risks. Whist the canopies and filters are easily accessible for regular cleaning by catering staff the ductwork is normally hidden above a ceiling and can pass through numerous walls and floors before reaching the discharge point.


    These hidden sections require specialist attention for cleaning to the TR19 standard.

  • What are the dangers of not having a system cleaned ?

    Around a quarter of the 24,000 accidental fires in UK non-domestic buildings, each year are caused by cooking appliances. Fires are an occupational hazard in commercial kitchens, but their impact is made far worse by the rapid spread of the fire through poorly maintained grease extract systems and ductwork. If grease deposits in uncleaned ductwork are ignited they will spread the fire rapidly to other parts of the building.

  • How often should Duct Cleaning be completed?

    The B&ES TR19 Guide to Good Practice - Internal Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems is a comprehensive guide to the internal cleanliness of ventilation systems.
