Understanding
Kitchen Extraction Systems

Kitchen extraction systems remove grease, smoke, heat and cooking odours from your kitchen. The main components include the canopy, ductwork and extractor fans, all of which require regular maintenance to operate safely and efficiently.

Over time, grease, oils and cooking fats build up throughout the system. This restricts airflow, reduces performance and significantly increases the risk of fire if left untreated.

In addition to impacting their performance, this build-up on canopies, ductwork, fans and vents can present a substantial fire hazard.

Our experienced team cleans every accessible part of the extraction system, removing grease deposits and helping keep your kitchen safe, efficient and compliant with current TR19 guidance.

How often SHOULD kitchen extraction systems be cleaned?

The recommended cleaning frequency depends on how heavily your kitchen is used:

  • Light Use: Every 12 months.
  • Moderate Use: Every 6 months.
  • Heavy Use: Every 3 months.

 

Regular kitchen extraction cleaning helps reduce grease build-up, lower the risk of fire and keep your ventilation system operating efficiently. It also helps demonstrate compliance with TR19 guidance and supports insurance and fire safety requirements.

Leaving extraction systems uncleaned can increase fire risks, restrict airflow and lead to unnecessary wear on your equipment. Keeping your system professionally maintained helps protect your staff, your premises and your business.

TR19 is not a legal requirement in itself, but it is the recognised industry guidance for ventilation hygiene.

Following TR19 helps businesses meet their legal responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and demonstrates that extraction systems are being properly maintained.

Unpleasant smells are usually caused by grease, cooking oils and food debris building up within the extraction system.

A professional clean removes these deposits, improves airflow and helps eliminate lingering odours.

Grease and debris gradually build up inside kitchen ductwork, increasing the risk of fire and reducing the efficiency of your extraction system.

Regular duct cleaning helps maintain good airflow, improves hygiene, supports compliance and keeps your kitchen operating safely.
