Legal Requirements

Health & Safety at work regulations and the Fire Regulations require that those responsible for the workplace must carry out a risk assessment of the grease extraction systems and act upon the results of the risk assessment to eliminate or at the very least minimise the ‘Risk of Fire’

The grease on canopies, filters and ductwork is a real fire risk, which can be prevented by regular specialist cleaning. Cyclone Ducting & Extraction Services can advise you on frequencies; generally, six and twelve monthly intervals.

Cleaning of the grease-extraction system is frequently overlooked, often because the ducting runs behind false ceilings or walls and, therefore, tends to be in areas that no one feels responsible for.
