Kitchen Extract System Cleaning and Fire Risk Control

At Swiftclean, we specialise in professional kitchen extract cleaning in London, ensuring your kitchen remains safe, efficient, and compliant with fire safety regulations. We can clean your kitchen’s extract system in accordance with the BESA specification, TR19® Grease, providing an effective solution to grease and dirt build-up.

Our team will carry out kitchen extract cleaning to the very highest standards, using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to achieve exceptional results. Whether you’re operating a small café or a large restaurant, we tailor our services to meet the unique needs of your commercial kitchen.

Why is Kitchen Extract Cleaning Important?

Kitchen extract cleaning is essential to maintaining a safe, efficient, and legally compliant kitchen environment. Over time, grease, dirt, and debris can build up in the kitchen extract system, including the hoods, ducts, fans, and filters. This accumulation can be a significant fire hazard, as grease is highly flammable and can ignite when exposed to high heat.

Failing to clean the system can also lead to poor air quality and bad odours, which can impact both kitchen staff and customers. Your kitchen system may also become less efficient, with reduced airflow forcing the system to work harder, leading to higher energy consumption and increased operational costs.

Regular kitchen extract cleaning in London can help prevent these issues by ensuring that your kitchen extract system operates optimally. This service improves airflow, reduces fire risks, and maintains high air quality, creating a safer and more pleasant environment.

    What Does Kitchen Extract Cleaning Involve?

    At Swiftclean, we follow a detailed cleaning process when carrying out kitchen extract cleaning in London, ensuring your system is thoroughly cleaned and operating at peak performance. Our service includes:

    • Initial Inspection – We begin with a thorough inspection of your kitchen extract system, allowing us to assess the level of grease/dirt (we measure this with our Wet Film Thickness testers). This will give us the pre-clean micron levels and help to work out future cleaning frequencies. It also allows us to determine the most appropriate cleaning method and check that we can access all areas of the system.
    • Cleaning – We carefully clean the components of your kitchen extract system, including the filters, fan, ducts and risers (normally working from canopy to exhaust). Each component is cleaned using specialised equipment and/or cleaning agents designed to break down grease and dirt.
    • Final Inspection – After cleaning and reassembly, we carry out a final inspection of the system. We again use the Wet Film Thickness testers, (we are looking for below 50 microns to comply with BESA TR/19 Grease). We check for any remaining debris and confirm that all components are functioning properly, ensuring that the system is safe, efficient, and compliant with regulations. Our office team sends out a post clean report with pre and post clean micron readings and photographs.

    Our London kitchen extract cleaning service can ensure your kitchen operates safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with fire safety regulations. Get in touch to discuss your requirements with our friendly team today.

    More resources and best practice

    Your legal responsibilities

    The Health & Safety Executive and industry and insurance guidance and regulations stipulate that kitchen extract systems should be kept clean to minimise fire and other risks. And the BESA specification TR19® Grease provides specific guidance on methods of measuring and defining cleanliness as a bench mark for good practice. As well as cleaning, Swiftclean conducts kitchen grease extract risk assessments in line with TR19® Grease.

    It is your responsibility to ensure that kitchen grease extract systems (canopies, filters, ductwork, risers and fans) in all commercial kitchens and the like are inspected as required by your buildings insurance policy, in accordance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations. Find out now if your kitchen extract is compliant with the new TR19® Grease specification with the Swiftclean Kitchen Extract compliance checker.
