Kitchen Extraction Cleaning

ShoreClean provide complete kitchen extraction cleaning solutions.
Most kitchen extraction systems comprise of five key parts: the extraction canopy, grease filters, ductwork, extractor fan and discharge duct.
Grease particles accumulate very quickly within extract systems producing a serious risk of fire.
Flames or very high temperatures from cooking equipment under certain circumstances can ignite this grease and quickly travel through the ducting. This can then pass through buildings via various routes, potentially increasing the spread of fire.
Insurance companies have stipulations regarding kitchen extraction systems. Failure to comply with these terms may invalidate any potential claim.
Take this example of a pub whose insurance company refused to pay out after fire damage. This was because the fire was caused by grease in the ductwork and a poorly-fitted ductwork system.
So this doesn't happen to you, ShoreClean can attend your kitchen to provide a quotation for cleaning your extraction system. This will be so you comply with all requirements.
One way to find out if your kitchen extraction system has been cleaned is if access panels have been fitted to your ducting. If no access panels have been fitted then it is highly unlikely that cleaning has ever taken place.
Access panels are a one off cost that allow ShoreClean technicians entry to the internal ductwork to remove any hazardous contamination. ShoreClean are able to provide access panels for any kitchen extraction system. If you are unsure if access panels have been fitted please do get in touch with us.
After attending your premises we will establish how often your kitchen extraction system will need to be cleaned to comply with requirements. This will depend on the level of usage of cooking equipment. The table below gives an indication of this.
