Kitchen Extract Cleaning

Kitchen extract systems play an important role in keeping commercial kitchens safe and well-ventilated. Over time, however, grease, fat and cooking residues can build up inside the ductwork and extraction equipment.

If this build-up isn't regularly removed, it can become a serious fire risk and affect the ventilation system's performance. Grease deposits are among the most common causes of fire in commercial kitchen ductwork.

At Barnsley Refrigeration, we provide professional kitchen extract cleaning to help businesses maintain safe, efficient systems and stay compliant with fire safety regulations.

Frequently asked questions regarding kitchen extract cleaning


Why is kitchen extract cleaning important?

Grease and cooking residue can build up inside extraction systems over time. This build-up can reduce ventilation efficiency and significantly increase the risk of fire spreading through ductwork.

How often should kitchen extract systems be cleaned?

The cleaning frequency depends on how often the kitchen is used. Busy commercial kitchens may require cleaning every few months, while others may require it less frequently. Guidance is typically based on BESA TR19® standards.

What is TR19 compliance?

TR19® is a recognised industry standard that sets out best practices for cleaning ventilation and grease extraction systems in commercial kitchens.

Can poor maintenance affect insurance?

Yes. If a fire occurs and the extract system has not been cleaned regularly, insurers may question whether proper maintenance has been carried out.

What are the signs a system needs cleaning?

Common signs include reduced airflow, excessive grease around vents or filters, strong cooking odours lingering in the kitchen, or visible grease inside ductwork.
