How often should commercial kitchen extraction be cleaned

September 28, 2025

Fire safety represents the most serious concern with neglected kitchen extraction systems. Grease buildup in commercial kitchen extraction systems is one of the leading causes of kitchen fires, with more than half of all restaurant fires starting in cooking or ventilation equipment.

Just 2 millimetres of grease inside ducting significantly increases fire risk and enables rapid fire spread through the system. Fire hazards accumulate gradually within kitchen extract systems, often in hidden areas that routine maintenance cannot address.

Our comprehensive duct cleaning process eliminates these fire hazards systematically. Fire risk assessments become meaningless when extraction systems harbour dangerous grease deposits. We help reduce fire risks through thorough cleaning that addresses every accessible area.

Fire safety regulations mandate regular cleaning of extraction systems, making this service a legal requirement for food businesses. Our approach ensures compliance while providing documentation that satisfies regulatory requirements.
