Commercial kitchen hood maintenance
It's vital that extractor units in restaurants, cafes and other commercial kitchens comply with HVAC TR19 and fire safety standards.
As such, you should carry out commercial kitchen canopy cleaning at regular intervals – even during lockdowns and periods limited operation.
Your commercial kitchen canopy hood works hard to remove heat, fumes and particles from your catering equipment. Professional, preventative maintenance and cleaning are therefore critical to keep it working at its best.
Why use a professional cleaning service?
- Compliant with fire safety regulations
- Protect staff and customers/users
- Reduce fire risk in your catering area
- Meeting business insurance obligations
- Maximise equipment efficiency/performance
- Identify any problems and arrange any necessary repairs
How often should a commercial kitchen hood be cleaned?
Basic cleaning should be carried out daily or weekly. However, a full ‘maintenance’ clean can be completed annually unless a fire risk assessment recommends otherwise.
