FIRE RISK REMOVAL

Grease-covered Galley’s extraction systems not only create a perfect environment for bacteria but lead to increased fire hazards. Industry standards for Health and Safety require regular cleaning of the systems.

By installing approved access doors, or using existing ones, our technicians access the ductwork and after applying a non-corrosive degreaser, the grease is removed through a combination of scraping, scrubbing and drying.

Difficult to access areas are cleaned using rotary cables equipped with special nylon heads. The kitchen extractor will be removed (where possible), scrubbed and cleaned. Laundry extractor systems, clogged with dust and lint, do not allow the hot air produced by tumble dryers to be extracted efficiently. Overheated hot air can lead to ignition and cause a fire.

Once disconnected from the tumble dryers, our technicians can access the ducting which is cleaned along its entire length up to the extractor. A portable auxiliary extractor is installed at the exit of the duct, allowing the residual dirt to be removed. On completion of the work, together with a full photographic report, a certificate for the successful removal of fire hazards is issued.

GALLEY EXTRACTION VENT WORKS

A Galley Extract System lined with grease not only creates the perfect environment for bacteria, but also increases the risk of fire.

Health & Safety industry standards require regular cleaning of the systems.

Clearvac engineers will access the duct work via existing access doors or by installing approved ones. After a non corrosive degreaser is applied, the grease will be removed by a combination of scraping, scrubbing & wiping.

Hard to access areas are cleaned with rotary brushing cable fitted with special nylon coated wire heads. The galley extract fan will be removed (if possible), disassembled and cleaned. A laundry extract duct clogged with dust & fluff doesn’t allow the dryers to extract hot air efficiently. Worse still, an overheated dryer can lead to a fire. Once dust & fluff is removed from the dryers, Clearvac engineers will access the duct work which will be cleaned along its length as far as it’s outlet to the extractor. An auxiliary portable extractor will be fitted at the outlet of the ducting which will help remove debris. On completion of the works, along with a full photographic report of before and after condition, a certificate for compliance will be issued.
