Grease extract ventilation cleaning
Pause Stop Previous Next View full-sized photos
The kitchen extract system presents particular hazards due to the potential for the accumulation of grease. Accumulated grease within an extract system forms a hidden risk. Under certain circumstances flames or very high temperature within the duct can ignite grease causing fire to spread rapidly through the system.
 

Kitchen ventilation systems can only be operated efficiently and hygienacly through regular cleaning and ongoing maintenance. At Deep Clean Scotland we can assist you to ensure your kitchen ventilation system is maintained to standards as stipulated by the B&ES (hvca) and complies with current legislation and guidlines.

 

Our services operate to accommodate your needs. We provide a 24-hour service, which allows us to carry out the service at a time that suits you. Our team will arrange a suitable time for us to visit your premises in order to carry out a survey of the system which will then allow us to prepare our proposal. A member of our survey team will arrive at your premises and will survey your system, evaluate any access issues and provide an accurate timescale and cost for completing the work.

 

Where access allows, we will price to carry out a thorough clean of your extract system and should the need arise, we can supply and install access components through out the system as required to carry out the cleaning and inspection verification on an initial and ongoing basis. All access components will be fitted and any insulation made good to by experienced technicians to HVCA DW/144 (1998).

 

Prior to commencing the service, we will take digital photographs of your system. photographs will also be taken when we complete the cleaning process. Ducting and all asociated components such as fan units, dampers, turning vanes etc will be cleaned as access allows by means of dry scraping, spray degreaser, wet/dry vacuum, mechanical brushing, hand brushing/wiping or dry steam vapor methods to remove grease and fibrous deposits. Where grease has become carbonised it may be cleaned by means of a specialised chemical treatment.
