Extract Cleaning, Canopy and Ductwork Decontamination and Fire Prevention Cleaning Services

Here at Active Extract LTD we aim to take all responsibility and the worry out of extract system fire hazards. This is done by an initial system survey which will check that the system has the correct number of access doors in the ductwork, this not only ensures the system is compliant with the above regulation but allows us the access to the whole system to make sure that we can systematically and comprehensively decontaminate the entire system.

Once completed you will be issued with a full post clean report and a certificate for your files. This certificate will indicate that the system has been completely cleaned and is within all fire regulations, This certificate can be shown to insurers as evidence that you have taken appropriate action to eliminate risks to your building and its occupants thereby complying with the Fire Safety Order and the terms of any property insurance.

Extract Cleaning – The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Fire safety law changed in October 2006 with the introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (SI 2005/1541) and replaced more than 70 pieces of fire safety law.

Importantly, this legislation now requires that an individual, known as the ‘Responsible Person’, is accountable for meeting the requirements of the Order.

This legislation places the onus firmly on the owners or managers within a company or organisation, who have control of the premises or a degree of control over certain areas or systems, to carry out a fire risk assessment to identify, manage and reduce the risk of fire to the building and its’ occupants.

Such a fire risk assessment should include any kitchen grease extract ventilation system contained within the building and must clearly identify potential fire risks and ways of removing or reducing these risks.

Failure to carry out a detailed fire risk assessment or act on the findings by implementing and maintaining any recommended precautionary measures, in the event of a fire causing injury or death, could lead to a criminal prosecution of the individual(s) and company responsible.
