HIDDEN DANGER
Cooking produces a number of effluents including grease, moisture, and smoke. With the exhaust fan on, each of these components is drawn up through the kitchen hood, through the filters, and in to the duct work building up over time. Once the build-up is sufficient, it becomes a fire hazard–which can only be prevented through routine cleaning. Here is a common sequence of events leading to a kitchen exhaust fire, which has not been cleaned.

Kitchen grease travels
into the hood

Through the event hood filters

Leading to the exhaust fan on the roof
At Steam Rite, one of our primary specialties is cleaning canopies, ducts, fans and filters thoroughly in order to fully clean out your commercial kitchen extraction system. This process removes grease and fat deposits which tend to build up over time, especially in busy restaurants, pubs, schools, canteens, hospitals, care homes and similar environments. All jobs are cleaned to regulated standards, and we provide certification of hygiene on completion.
It’s very common for extract ducts, filters and so on to be left for long periods of time without being cleaned. This is often because these places are out of sight, so they can easily be forgotten. Even if you’re aware of the need to keep them clean, doing so can be difficult and inconvenient, especially without the specialist tools and skills we have at our disposal at Steam Rite
