Kitchen The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 stipulates that by law the person responsible for the business premise must carry out a fire risk assessment and implement and maintain a fire management plan. Putting in place regular kitchen duct and ventilation cleaning will help to satisfy this law and remove the most common cause of fires within the kitchen. The Building & Engineering Services Association (B&ES) TR/19 Standards provide recommendations on service intervals for kitchen duct cleaning (see table below). Many insurance companies are now stipulating that an accredited company must carry out ventilation cleaning in order to validate insurance polices. We would recommend all clients liaise with their insurers as to the required cleaning intervals detailed in their insurance policy.
B&ES Recommended Ventilation Duct Cleaning Service Intervals Use Light Moderate Heavy
Hours a Day 2-6 6 - 12 12 - 16
Service Intervals Annual Bi-Annually Quarterly
Chewing gum removal Chewing gum outside any building is unsightly and detracts from the outward appearance of any property, entrance or walkway. Thistle Fm utilise the most up to date, eco friendly steam removal system that heats chewing gum deposits and injects a citrus based solution that dissolves the chewing gum entirely. This modern solution to an age old problem works on any surfaces including, tarmac, concrete, monobloc and tiled surfaces.
