Grease is not always visible from the outside. It can build up in duct routes, filters and extraction motors.

Cleaning and fire-safety certification
A certificate may be available after complete, verifiable cleaning of the agreed relevant components. Grease buildup in extraction systems can increase risk. Professional cleaning helps keep installations easier to manage.
24/7 emergency and out-of-hours
Emergency service, evening work, weekend work and out-of-hours planning available.
Insurance proof on request
Documentation can support insurance questions, landlords, inspections or internal administration.
Certificate eligibility
No cleaning certificate for partial cleaning only.
A cleaning certificate is delivered only when the full relevant system has been assessed and cleaned. Partial cleaning of one component is not enough for certification.
For a certificate, we do not clean only one visible component. The full relevant system must be assessed, such as the extraction hood, filters, grease duct and extraction fan when they are part of the installation.
Important condition
If only the extraction hood is cleaned while the grease duct or extraction motor remains contaminated, a full cleaning certificate cannot be issued. The certificate belongs to a complete and verifiable cleaning of the system.
Public exampleExample certificate
See what the cleaning certificate looks like
After complete and verifiable cleaning, a professional cleaning certificate can be issued. The document clarifies which components and activities were included in the agreed scope.
Sensitive information is concealed
The restaurant name, dates and other identifiable details are intentionally hidden in this public example.
Fire safety
A cleaning certificate belongs to complete and verifiable cleaning.
In hospitality extraction, fire safety is not about one clean visible component. The relevant installation must be reviewed as a system: hood, filters, grease duct, extraction motor and accessible technical parts.
The message is clear: no certificate for partial cleaning only. A professional certificate is possible when the full agreed scope has been completed correctly.
This combination is central when a cleaning certificate is discussed.
Cleaning only the hood is not enough when the duct or motor remains contaminated.
The work must be carried out safely, professionally and verifiably on site.

Cleaning certificate after complete verified scope.
A cleaning certificate is possible only when the relevant system has been assessed and cleaned as a complete functional block.
No certificate for partial cleaning▾
Cleaning only the visible hood is not enough when other relevant parts remain contaminated.
System approach▾
The hood, filters, duct opening, grease duct, extraction motor and fan may all matter.
Professional proof▾
The certificate is a proof document, not an automatic marketing bonus.
Risk
Why grease buildup matters
In hospitality kitchens, grease, steam and hot air move through the extraction system every day. When grease builds up in the hood, filters, duct or fan, professional maintenance becomes more important.
The right review therefore looks at the relevant system, not only one visible component.
Condition
Why partial cleaning is not enough
If only the extraction hood is cleaned while the grease duct or extraction fan remains contaminated, a full cleaning certificate cannot be issued.
The certificate belongs to a complete and verifiable cleaning of the system according to the agreed scope.
Proof
Photo proof and reporting after completion
After cleaning, proof may include photos, reporting or a cleaning certificate, depending on the service performed and the agreements made.
Periodic maintenance
Fire safety requires recurrence, not only one cleaning
Grease buildup returns through daily cooking, baking and frying. That is why the maintenance interval is part of the review, especially for snack bars, restaurants, hotels and commercial kitchens with high grease load.
A periodic maintenance plan can help make inspection, cleaning, photo proof and certificate moments more predictable.
Insurance questions and inspections
Make completed cleaning easier to document
Photo proof, reporting and a cleaning certificate can support internal administration, landlord questions, inspections or insurance questions. This does not guarantee insurer acceptance.
The value of the file depends on the complete and verifiable scope: what was reviewed, what was cleaned and whether any limitations applied.
Prepare your request
Share photos for a focused review.
You do not need to know every technical detail. Photos of the hood, filters, duct opening, motor or visible grease buildup help define the scope faster.
Frequently asked questions
Answers for hospitality business owners.
When is a cleaning certificate possible?
When the full relevant system has been reviewed and cleaned according to the agreed scope.
Why no certificate for partial cleaning only?
Partial cleaning does not provide a full picture of the relevant extraction system.
Can photo proof help with administration?
Yes. Photos and reporting can help make completed work easier to document.
Is the extraction fan also reviewed?
When the extraction fan is part of the contaminated system, it must be included in the review.
Does periodic maintenance help with fire safety?
Periodic maintenance can help identify grease buildup earlier and plan cleaning moments more clearly. The right frequency depends on grease load, usage and access.
Can reporting help with insurance questions?
Yes. Photos, reporting and a certificate can form a supporting file, but they do not guarantee automatic insurer acceptance.
Do I always receive a certificate after cleaning?
No. A certificate is issued only when the full relevant system has been assessed and cleaned according to the agreed scope. Partial cleaning of one component is not enough.
Why is cleaning only the extraction hood not enough for a certificate?
Because grease and contamination can also build up in filters, the grease duct, the duct opening and the extraction motor. For certification, the relevant system must be assessed as a whole.
Can I know in advance whether my installation is suitable for a certificate?
Yes. You can share photos or videos. Based on that, we review which parts need to be checked and cleaned to qualify for a certificate.
