Clean-up cuts risk of fire
December 1st 2004

It was back to school for Indepth Hygiene Services recently when it deep cleaned the kitchen grease extract ventilation systems at Charterhouse.

Poorly maintained extract systems pose a fire hazard as grease deposits lining the ductwork can be ignited easily by a small flash fire on a hob, allowing flames to quickly spread along the duct.

Indepth Hygiene Services annually cleans the grease extract ventilation systems serving the school’s substantial catering facilities.

Operatives access the ductwork and fans by partially dismantling false tiled ceilings. The cleaning operation takes three days.
