Kitchen Grease Extraction Cleaning and Inspection
Local fire authorities and insurers agree that a common cause for the spread of fire in kitchen extraction is grease build up within the ducting. This risk can be reduced by regular cleaning and inspection.
Grease itself does not cause a kitchen extraction fire but it does provide the fuel which is one of the three key elements of a fire.
Grease ignited between 310 deg. C to 350 deg. C so if the in-duct temperature exceeds this level the grease will burn which means that companies offering “fire break” cleans are not assuring compliance.
We follow the BESA (Building and Engineering Services Association) TR19 (Grease) ‘Specification for Fire Risk Management of Grease Accumulation within Kitchen Extraction System’ rigidly and our lead engineers are trained as a minimum to BESA Grease Hygiene Technician standard. That specification clearly outlines what is required of us as your grease hygiene provider to ensure that our work and your systems are compliant.
Process
Initial Consultation
We will attend your site and conduct a full system survey that will include size of extract canopies, canopy filter details, ducting lengths and layouts, plant and exhaust types and locations.
Quotation
We will produce a quotation based on our system survey that will include the data from the survey and a basic schematic of the system that identifies the system components. This survey will highlight any requirements for additional access panels, concealed components due to the fabric of the building and areas perceived as inaccessible for our initial clean. The quotation will also show a scope of works detailing how we will clean the components of your extraction system.
Initial Clean
Prior to commencement on site we will provide your site representative with details RAMS for the duration of the works and our requirements to maximise the effectiveness of the clean.
Once on site our engineers will then:
Reporting
Using our reporting software the engineer will produce a TR19 report for cleaning verification. The format of that report will be as per BESA Technical Bulletin TB/009 and it will contain the following:
