Q: Can cleaning be done outside kitchen operating hours?

Absolutely — our team can schedule cleaning at times that minimise disruption, including early mornings, evenings, or weekends, depending on your kitchen’s needs.

Q: Why is kitchen extract cleaning important?

Grease build-up in ducts and hoods is a major fire hazard. Regular cleaning also improves air quality, reduces odors, and keeps equipment working efficiently.

Q: How often should fire dampers be tested?

Fire dampers should be inspected at least once every 12 months to check they are in good working order. This is required under BS 9999: Code of practice for fire safety and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. They should also be cleaned when necessary to ensure they work correctly. It’s important to note that fire and smoke dampers need separate inspection and functional testing. For detailed guidance, industry standards such as BESA DW145 and VH001 (Fire and Smoke Damper Maintenance) should be followed.
