Maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen environment is essential for the health and safety of both customers and employees. Kitchen duct cleaning is an important aspect of this, as it helps to prevent contamination, reduce fire risk, and improve air quality. Compliance with relevant UK legislation is also crucial. Here are four key benefits of kitchen duct cleaning:
Improved hygiene: Regular cleaning of kitchen ducts helps to prevent the build-up of grease deposits, dirt, and other debris, reducing the risk of contamination and improving overall hygiene.
Improved air quality: A build up of grease and debris in kitchen ducts can lead to poor air quality, which can be problematic for those with allergies or respiratory issues. Cleaning the ducts regularly helps to improve air quality and reduce the risk of health issues.
Reduced fire risk: Grease build-up in kitchen ducts can pose a significant fire risk, especially in commercial kitchens. Regular cleaning helps to reduce this risk and prevent fires from breaking out.
Compliance with legislation: The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Fire Safety Order 2005 and TR19 standards require employers to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety of their employees, which includes regular cleaning of kitchen ducts. Compliance with these regulations is important to avoid potential legal issues.
Kitchen duct cleaning is a critical aspect of maintaining a safe and healthy kitchen environment, improving hygiene, air quality, and reducing fire risk. Furthermore, it is essential to comply with relevant legislation to ensure the safety of employees and customers.

Extract cleaning, also known as kitchen extract cleaning or extraction cleaning, is the process of removing accumulated grease, dirt, and other debris from the ventilation system of a commercial kitchen. This includes extractor fans, plenums, ducts, and other components that make up the ventilation system.
Extract cleaning is crucial to ensure that the kitchen operates safely and hygienically. Accumulated grease deposits in the extractor system pose a significant hazard to health and safety, as they can ignite and cause a devastating fire. Additionally, grease deposits provide a breeding ground for bacteria and attract pests, compromising the overall hygiene of the kitchen.
At APT, we offer comprehensive extract cleaning services that include the removal of all grease deposits from extractor fans, plenums, and ducts. Our cleaning process involves the use of specialised cleaning solutions and equipment to ensure that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned.

Cleaning a kitchen hood duct is an essential task for maintaining fire safety and proper hygiene in any commercial kitchen. Here is a general overview of the process:
Turn off power: First, make sure to turn off the power to the hood and any associated equipment.
Remove filters: Remove the grease filters from the hood and soak them in a degreasing solution.
Access the ductwork: Remove any access panels to the ductwork, and use a vacuum to remove any loose debris.
Scrub the ductwork: Using a specialized duct cleaning brush, scrub the interior of the ductwork to remove any grease buildup.
Rinse the ductwork: Once the ductwork has been scrubbed, use a pressure washer or hose to rinse the interior of the ductwork.
Reinstall filters: Once the filters have been soaked and cleaned, reinstall them in the hood.
Test and inspect: Finally, turn the power back on and test the hood and associated equipment. Inspect the ductwork for any damage or areas that may need further cleaning.

According to BESA’s recommendations, kitchen extract ducts should be cleaned at least once a year. However, heavy-use kitchens such as those in busy restaurants, hotels, and food processing plants should be cleaned more frequently, ideally once every quarter or even once a month.
It is essential to note that some insurance policies may require more frequent cleaning to maintain fire safety compliance and ensure that the policy is valid.
Ultimately, the frequency of kitchen extract duct cleaning will depend on the unique circumstances of each kitchen, including the cooking type and hours of operation. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a specialist commercial ventilation cleaning contractor like APT to determine the optimal cleaning schedule for your kitchen.
Removing grease from ducts requires specialised equipment and cleaning solutions. The process involves a combination of mechanical and chemical cleaning methods to remove accumulated grease deposits from ductwork, fan blades, and plenums.
First, a professional technician will inspect the ductwork to determine the extent of the grease buildup and assess any potential fire hazards. They will then use specialised equipment such as rotary brushes, compressed air, and high-powered vacuums to loosen and remove the grease deposits.
Next, a cleaning solution specifically designed to dissolve grease will be applied to the ductwork to break down any remaining grease and sanitise the surfaces. The solution is typically left to sit for a period of time to ensure that it has time to work effectively.
Once the solution has had time to work, the technician will use high-pressure hot water or steam to flush out the ductwork and ensure that all remaining grease and debris is removed. The entire process is conducted in compliance with industry standards and guidelines to ensure that the ductwork is cleaned thoroughly and safely.
The frequency of kitchen extract duct cleaning depends on several factors, including the type of cooking operations and the frequency of use. Heavy-use commercial kitchens may require cleaning every three months, while lighter-use kitchens may only require cleaning once a year. It is important to consult with a professional cleaning service to determine the appropriate cleaning schedule for your kitchen extract ducts.
