Kitchen hood cleaning tailored to your installation
Depending on the type of kitchen hood, the degree of contamination and other internal factors, we choose the most suitable cleaning procedure. This can range from manual cleaning with powerful degreasing products, to steam cleaning, to fully automatic foam cleaning of the entire installation — including the kitchen hood, ducts and fans.
The technical components are not overlooked either. Belts of the extraction motor and damping blocks can, if desired, be replaced immediately. All grease filters are of course carefully cleaned, so that your installation functions safely and efficiently again.
You can opt for a one-off cleaning, or go for a maintenance contract. In that case, we ensure systematic and timely maintenance of your kitchen hood, without you having to think about it yourself.
The fire triangle: why cleaning is essential?
In every professional kitchen, two of the three elements of the fire triangle are permanently present: oxygen and high temperatures. The third element — fuel — is created by the accumulation of fats, oil and dust particles in kitchen hoods and extraction ducts. When this contamination builds up, it forms an extremely flammable layer. A small spark or overheating is then sufficient to cause a fire, with all the consequences that entails.
Through timely and professional cleaning, we completely remove this fuel source. This breaks the fire triangle and makes the environment safe and fire-free once again.
FAQ's
In Belgium there is no legal obligation to have kitchen hoods or extraction systems in large kitchens cleaned.
Fire insurance is however mandatory, and this usually sets conditions to limit fire hazards. In many cases, the insurer requires that the extraction system is cleaned regularly, for example annually or more frequently, depending on usage.
After cleaning, the contractor usually provides a cleaning certificate or proof, with which you can demonstrate that the insurance conditions have been met.
