The Importance of Kitchen Extraction System Cleaning for Commercial Kitchens

June 25th, 2025 - by Blueshark Design

Maintaining a clean and safe kitchen environment is vital for any commercial catering business. One of the most overlooked but essential aspects of kitchen hygiene is the cleaning of extraction systems. At UK Commercial Group, we specialise in professional kitchen extraction system cleaning to help businesses stay safe, compliant, and efficient.

Why Is Kitchen Extraction Cleaning So Important?

Over time, grease, smoke, and airborne particles accumulate within your kitchen extraction system. If not properly cleaned, this build-up can lead to several serious issues:

Fire Hazards

Grease build-up in ducts and fans is a major fire risk. Commercial kitchens operate at high temperatures, and the presence of flammable residues makes extraction systems particularly vulnerable. Regular cleaning significantly reduces the risk of fire and helps meet fire safety regulations.

Legal Compliance

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and insurance requirements, businesses are obligated to maintain safe working environments. Failure to clean extraction systems regularly could invalidate insurance policies and leave you open to legal liabilities. Our kitchen extraction cleaning services ensure you remain compliant with all current legislation.

Improved Air Quality

A clean extraction system enhances ventilation and removes odours, smoke, and excess heat from your kitchen. This improves working conditions for staff and contributes to a more pleasant dining experience for customers.

Increased Efficiency and Lifespan

Regular cleaning of filters, ducts, and fans helps your extraction system run more efficiently. This not only reduces energy consumption but also prolongs the life of expensive equipment.
