Ventilation Duct Cleaning
It is important that ventilation systems in social housing, especially flats, are cleaned regularly. The ventilation ductwork can act as a route for fire and smoke to travel through the building. Cleaning these ventilation systems can reduce the risk of fire and mould growth in poorly ventilated properties.
Kitchen Extract Cleaning
Kitchens in flats will accumulate oil, grease and fat inside the kitchen extract ductwork. These deposits can increase the fire risk in the property that you are legally obliged to control.
If your care home has a kitchen, then you will need to organise for the extract ductwork to be cleaned so that you comply with the TR19 standard.
If you do not comply with this standard, it could be seen as legal negligence
