Did Your Commercial Kitchen Turn into a House of Horrors or a Dream Clean?

The school holidays have come and passed, and while classrooms might have been quiet over the break, the kitchens certainly weren’t forgotten!

As food hygiene standards across the UK continue to tighten (and rightly so), it’s more important than ever to keep your Commercial kitchen extract systems clean, safe, and compliant. Ventilation systems are now a key part of hygiene audits, and a neglected duct can quickly become a real fright night for safety inspectors.

At Ductbusters, we specialise in TR19®-compliant kitchen extract cleaning, helping schools, Universities, and commercial kitchens banish grease, grime, and fire risks before they cause a scare.

Commercial kitchen deep clean

What’s Lurking in Your Extract System?

It’s not cobwebs we’re worried about…

Over time, grease, carbon, and oil build up inside your extract ductwork and fans. This sticky layer isn’t just unpleasant, it’s a major fire hazard and a breeding ground for bacteria.

By scheduling your kitchen extract clean for the Christmas break, you can:

• Alleviate fire risks in your kitchen

• Reduce hygiene risks and bacterial build-up

• Eliminate bad odours caused by grease and dirt

• Stay compliant with insurance and hygiene audits

• Earn your TR19® Certificate of Cleanliness

How Often Should You Clean Your Commercial Kitchen?

To stay safe and compliant:

• Heavy-use kitchens (12–16 hours per day): clean every 3 months

• Moderate use (6–12 hours per day): clean every 6 months

• Light use (2–6 hours per day): clean at least once a year

We’ll assess your system, identify any risks, and create a cleaning plan that suits your level of use. Every clean is carried out to BESA TR19® standards, and we’ll issue the certification required by your insurance provider.

Perfect Timing for Schools and Colleges

Half-terms are the ideal time to carry out kitchen extract cleaning. There’s no disruption, no downtime, and complete peace of mind before the new term begins.

We work across Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Food Processing, Catering, Public Buildings, and Historic Sites, providing fully accredited, professional cleaning you can trust.
