Working with the West Midlands Fire Service

Enhancing Fire Safety for West Midlands Fire Service

Project Background:

We aided the West Midlands Fire Service meet its legal fire safety obligations by completing a thorough clean of its commercial kitchen extract systems across all 33 of its sites.

Our Solution:

Our team completed a Wet Film Thickness Test to act as a gauge for measuring the efficiency of the cleaning process, before conducting a thorough manual clean of the Fire Service's kitchen extract systems. This incorporates using a precision gauge which is capable of measuring grease thickness from 25 to 500 microns and has become the industry standard for determining the accumulation of grease.

Poorly maintained systems often have limited access points and are only cleaned as far as can be reached. Our expert engineers identified the access points in the kitchen ductwork and, where appropriate, installed additional access doors in order to carry out a deep clean of the entire system. There was no leakage of grease or other contaminants, and cleaning was achieved quickly and efficiently.
