5 Reasons Why Kitchen Extract Inspections Are Key
Reduce Fire Risk
Regular ductwork inspections help identify the build-up of hazardous components such as grease, fat, oil, and food particles. When these kitchen byproducts are left in your duct system, they increase the risk of a fire breaking out. By hiring certified air hygiene specialists to conduct a thorough kitchen extract cleaning that meets TR19 Grease standards, you reduce the chances of this occurring.
Maintain Hygiene Standards
Commercial kitchens in Camberley and throughout the UK are responsible for remaining compliant with government health and safety regulations. Without the proper ductwork cleaning and airflow testing, your equipment can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria and mould. When these contaminants are inhaled, they pose a significant health risk that could lead to legal action against your business.
Lower Utility Bills
On another note, regular kitchen extract inspections and fire damper cleaning increase the efficiency of your ventilation system. As a result, less energy is required to run your kitchen, saving you money on utility bills and helping your business become more environmentally friendly.
Improve Air Quality
Dirty extraction systems often lead to poor air quality and can create an uncomfortable and unhygienic work environment. When ductwork cleaning isn’t carried out, unpleasant odours, smoke, and grease remain in the kitchen system, meaning your staff have to breathe in contaminants that can cause long-term respiratory issues. CCTV ductwork inspections of inaccessible areas, fire damper testing, and kitchen extract cleaning help you identify these issues, putting you in the best position to remove these pollutants and create a healthy work environment for all employees.

Failure to undergo the required fire damper testing and CCTV ductwork inspections could invalidate the cover, putting your business at risk of significant financial losses should a fire or other similar incident occur.
