Cutting out fat leads to a healthier lifestyle

By their very nature, kitchen grease extract systems are designed to draw into them the dirty, greasy, hot air generated from cooking ranges.

 

Despite grease filters often being installed, some of this grease inevitably manages to get into the system and causes a build up to start accumulating on the internal surfaces of the ductwork, fan and other components. If left, these deposits not only reduce efficiency by blocking the fan, but, can present a real hygiene hazard. Additionally, we hear all too often how un-maintained grease extract systems lead to the outbreak of large kitchen fires.

By firstly installing quick release doors to allow access to every part of the system, H2O will clean the ductwork and internals using the latest cleaning techniques and remove the grease build ups. In some cases, where access is difficult, abseil techniques are employed to ensure 100% success.

 

Once a system is cleaned of all physical contamination it will be treated with a broad-spectrum biocide to eliminate microbiological contamination. Obviously, once all works are completed H2O will issue a hygiene certificate, which in many cases is an

insurance requirement.

 

It is essential, that once a system is cleaned a programme of regular and effective cleaning is implemented, following the HVCA’s strict timescales.
