Ten years ago few restaurants owners or chefs cleaned their Kitchen extract systems. The ‘out of sight out of mind’ syndrome meant that many occupiers / owners were oblivious to the hazards that were building up in their kitchen extract systems. High profile fires, increasing pressure from insurance companies and new fire regulations has identified the need to clean systems thoroughly by qualified engineers. See ourGallery for some examples of Jetvent’s cleaning standards. For a free survey and quotation or any queries please use ourContact Us page.

Kitchen extract cleaning is a fundamentally difficult and dirty job. Busy caterers do not possess the knowledge or time to be able to check that the work has been properly carried out. The heart of the problem is that ductwork can be difficult to access and often only the areas that can be seen are the only areas cleaned. Partial cleaning is a waste of money and lulls clients into a false sense of security.

Ensure your systems meet Environmental Health and Insurance Companies requirements by employing a professional company with trained operatives certified to work in confined spaces, knowledge of ductwork systems and capable of fitting access panels that ensure no leakage. All Jetvent projects are cleaned by qualified engineers to industry specific standards (HVCA TR19) and are supplied with pre and post clean photographic evidence. A Certificate of Cleanliness is also supplied post cleaning for your Insurance Company and Environmental Health Officer.

Jetvent also offer a monitoring and maintenance contract to all customers to ensure continued compliance to current standards. Jetvent will attend site at pre-determined intervals and where possible carry out the following:

• Check adequacy and condition of grease filters.
• Elcometer measurements to test depth of grease deposits.
• Photographs to aid comparison to conditions at last clean or visit.
• Visual/hearing check of fan operation.
• Report highlighting any defects found.
• Recommendations on when cleaning should take place.
• Issue Certificate of Cleanliness provided system adheres to current standards.

These results are recorded and details sent to you and will ensure cleaning will only take place when necessary. For more information on ductwork monitoring contracts and how Jetvent can help make sure the fire risk is removed from your Kitchen Extract System please use our Contact Us page.
