Dryer Duct Cleaning
BackgroundWhenever laundry such as towels and bedding are washed and dried in a commercial Dryer, large amounts of fibre and dust are given off. This is vented into the dryer extract ducts, where a significant proportion of this material can get through the filters and settle on the inside of the extract duct. This causes the cross-sectional area to be reduced. Not only is this an efficiency problem (the hot, moist air will not be properly removed, but also this leads to a significant fire risk, and dryer ducts are known to catch fire surprisingly often).
Dryer Duct Cleaning - OverviewAs with all cleaning requirements, the specific programme for any individual establishment can only properly be determined with an initial site inspection from one of our specialists, who would then be able to advise you on how to most cost-effectively manage the fire risk associated with your laundry system. For example, we might advise a regular programme of inspections and cleaning typically every 6 to 12 months (depending on usage). The inspection would check that the filters are correctly secured as well as examining the duct work for levels of contamination. All contamination would be removed from the entire length of the ventilation system, before tidying up and making good the working area. On completion of each phase, we would issue with documentation that certifies what work was undertaken and the specific standards followed, so that you have a formal record in place for your insurers.
