LAUNDRY DUCTING TO VENT IN CARE HOME
The before and after photos here show the build up of lint and dust from a laundry extraction unit.
​
This dust build up can restrict the flow of hot fumes to the vent. As heat builds the dust can ignite causing a fire in the ducting.
LAUNDRY DUCTING IN CARE HOME
We can install ACCESS PANELS for future cleaning too.
​
Laundry ducting in care homes can often be overlooked. This type of ducting (along with kitchen ducting) is a potential fire risk due to the build up of dry and flammable dust.
​
Removal of this dust ensures a consistent air flow, lower fire risk (compliance with H&S) and better quality of internal air.

KITCHEN EXTRACTION FAN
The images here show the kitchen extraction fan from a tea room. We clean this for them every six months.
​
This build up is typical for a cafe that is cooking 6 days per week and it is normal for a food venue to have their fans cleaned every 6 months depending on the type of food that is prepared.
Your extraction system should have a gas interlock system which works in conjunction with your fan as a safety precaution. If an extraction unit is not cleaned and maintained then the fan could fail at the worst possible time for the business: during the busiest hour on the busiest day! If the fan fails then your gas automatically shuts down too.
​
This is another reason why it is so important to have your kitchen fans cleaned regularly.
SCAFFOLDING
We are often called to jobs that require a tower to gain access to the ducting. A safe platform is essential to reach access panels.
​
Avasta supply and install access panels so that we can gain access to the inside of ducting to ensure a thorough clean.
