Commercial Kitchen Canopy and Filter Cleaning
FlameSafe Compliance provides professional canopy and filter cleaning services for commercial kitchens across the UK. Our service is designed to reduce fire risk improve ventilation efficiency and support compliance with TR19 Grease guidance and fire safety legislation.
The Importance of Canopy and Filter Cleaning
Canopies and filters form the first stage of grease capture within a commercial kitchen extraction system. As cooking takes place grease laden vapours are drawn upwards and deposited onto canopy surfaces and filters. Over time this grease builds up and becomes highly flammable.
If not cleaned regularly grease deposits on canopies and filters can ignite from open flames or high cooking temperatures. This presents a direct fire risk within the kitchen environment and can allow fire to spread into the extraction system.
In addition to fire risk grease build up restricts airflow reducing the effectiveness of the extraction system. Poor ventilation leads to heat build up uncomfortable working conditions and increased strain on fans and motors.
Professional canopy and filter cleaning is essential to maintain a safe efficient and compliant kitchen.
Fire Safety and Legal Responsibilities
Under the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order 2005 business owners and responsible persons have a legal duty to manage fire risks within their premises. Kitchen extraction systems including canopies and filters are specifically recognised as a significant fire hazard when grease is allowed to accumulate.
Insurers also require extraction systems to be maintained in line with recognised industry standards. Failure to clean canopies and filters appropriately may result in invalidated insurance cover in the event of a fire.
FlameSafe Compliance delivers canopy and filter cleaning services that support both legal compliance and insurance requirements. Our work is carried out with fire safety as the primary consideration not just appearance.
Our Canopy and Filter Cleaning Process
We follow a structured and methodical process to ensure canopies and filters are cleaned thoroughly and safely.
We begin with an assessment of the canopy and filter condition and identify grease levels and access requirements. Filters are removed and cleaned using appropriate degreasing methods to remove embedded grease.
Canopy interiors and exteriors are thoroughly degreased with attention given to seams joints and grease channels where contamination often accumulates. Surrounding surfaces are protected to prevent cross contamination.
Once cleaning is complete filters are reinstalled correctly and the area is left clean and operational.
Our process ensures improved airflow reduced fire risk and a professional hygienic finish.
TR19 Grease Compliance for Canopies and Filters
TR19 Grease provides guidance on acceptable grease levels within kitchen extraction systems including canopies and filters. It also outlines recommended cleaning frequencies based on cooking methods and usage levels.
