Services
Grease Extraction
Professional cleaning of commercial kitchen grease extraction systems using remotely operated cameras and hot foam technology. Our TR19-compliant process removes accumulated grease from hoods, ducts, and fans to reduce fire risks and improve extraction efficiency. Regular maintenance lowers energy costs by up to 50% while ensuring compliance with Fire Safety Order (2005) regulations.
Ventilation Hygiene
Comprehensive ventilation system cleaning using mechanical brushing and air jetting systems. We remove debris from commercial ductwork to improve indoor air quality, reduce staff sickness, and lower operating costs. Our NAAD21-standard procedures address health risks from contaminated air while maintaining compliance with COSHH regulations for building occupants.
Kitchen Fire Suppression
Installation and maintenance of Pneumatically Actuated Fire Suppression Systems (PAFSS) for commercial kitchens. These automatic systems detect and extinguish fires at source, minimising asset damage and enabling faster operational recovery. Our certified technicians ensure systems meet current fire safety legislation and industry best practices.
Indoor Air Quality
Specialist assessment and improvement of indoor air environments in commercial buildings. We address particulate contamination, microbial growth, and volatile organic compounds through targeted filtration and ventilation upgrades. Our COSHH-compliant solutions protect occupant health while reducing legal liabilities for employers and property managers.
Laundry Ventilation
Regular cleaning of commercial laundry extraction systems to prevent lint accumulation and fire hazards. Our six to twelve-month maintenance cycles remove combustible deposits from dryer ducts while providing full photographic reports. Certification documentation supports insurance requirements and fire risk assessments for laundries of all sizes.
