Regardless of how efficient the canopy filters are at trapping grease particulates, it is inevitable that the build-up of grease and fatty deposits will form within any kitchen extract system and will present a constant and significant fire risk, as well as a breeding ground for bacteria.
It is essential that these combustible deposits are removed through regular specialist cleaning to ensure the building and the occupant’s safety is not put at risk.
The Building & Engineering Services Association (B&ES) TR/19 best practice guidance calls for regular specialist cleaning based on usage. Section 7.35 shows the minimum interval between cleans to be as below:

Insurance companies, Fire Safety Officers and Environmental Health Officers require evidence that the kitchen extract system is being cleaned and managed appropriately. The Management of Health & Safety at Work and The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 places a strict ‘Duty Of Care’ on the manager / owner of the premises to co-ordinate a fire risk assessment and implement a plan to minimise potential risks.
Ventland ensure all work is completed to the highest standards.
