The cleaning of fans, ducts and flues is paramount for all factories. Whether it be to remove contaminants, remove the risk of fire or ensure a cleaner working environment, all fans, ducts and flues should be cleaned on a regular basis.

We recommend that such plant is cleaned on at least an annual basis. However, some plant such as oven extract flues require cleaning on a 3 to 6-monthly basis to minimise the risk of fire.

We have special equipment for the cleaning of ducts, using long reach vacuum equipment to remove all traces of dust throughout a building. These techniques are employed for retrofitting and 5-yearly building maintenance programmes.

In the food industry flues and hoods present a flash fire risk and in order to be properly cleaned these should be accessed from below and at the exit point. Installing maintenance access points is undertaken by our staff where required.

In the dry cleaning and hospitality industries lint can be a significant problem and we maintain a significant number of commercial dryer ducts.

• Cleaning duct systems during retrofitting
• Sterilising duct systems
• Removing dust, fats and dirt from extract ducts to minimise fire risk and fan damage
