Fire Risk
Ventilation Duct work and Kitchen extract ducting constitute a potential fire hazard. Grease deposits that are left to build up in an extract system could ignite causing a fire to spread rapidly through the entire system. Current legislation and Approved Codes of Practice clearly state ventilation and extract systems should be regularly inspected and cleaned.

Employees Health
Bacteria and Fungi will grow and be breathed in by employees if Ductwork is left dirty or poorly maintained. This may result in Sick Building Syndrome causing unnecessary absenteeism. Regular Cleaning and Sanitising will prevent this.
