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 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 signififcant problem and we maintain a
significant number of commercial dryer ducts.

cleaning of fans, ducts and flues is paramount for all factories. Whether it
