Production Extraction Cleaning: Industrial-Grade Hygiene & Compliance
In manufacturing, food production, and industrial environments, extraction systems are essential for maintaining safe air quality, removing airborne contaminants, and ensuring equipment operates efficiently. Over time, these systems can become clogged with dust, oils, vapours, fibres, and other process residues—creating fire hazards, compromising performance, and leading to non-compliance.
At SVM Cleaning, we specialise in production extraction cleaning services tailored to your industry. Whether you operate in food processing, pharmaceuticals, engineering, or light manufacturing, our team delivers deep, certified cleans that keep your facility safe, compliant, and operational.
Why Production Extraction Cleaning is Critical
Industrial extract systems often work under extreme conditions and high usage, meaning thatbuild-up happens fast—and failing to maintain them properly can lead to:
✔️Fire & Explosion Risk– Accumulated materials such as flour, oil vapour, or wood dust are highly combustible. ✔️Reduced System Performance– Build-up impairs airflow, forcing fans and filters to work harder and reducing extraction efficiency. ✔️Non-Compliance with HSE Regulations– The Health & Safety Executive requires regular extraction cleaning to prevent hazards. ✔️Downtime & Equipment Failure– Poor airflow can overheat systems, causing breakdowns or unplanned shutdowns. ✔️Contamination Risk– In food and pharmaceutical environments, dirty ducts can lead toproduct contamination and quality control failures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should production extraction systems be cleaned? Frequency depends on what’s being extracted. High-risk environments (grease, dust, vapour) may need cleaning every 3–6 months, while lower-risk systems may require annual servicing.
What regulations do you help us comply with? We help clients meet standards including:
TR19® Grease(BESA)
HSE COSHH Regulations
BS EN 15780 for air duct hygiene
Fire safety and insurance obligations
Can you clean during shutdowns or off-peak hours? Yes. We provide overnight, weekend, or shutdown-period cleans to ensure minimal disruption.
Do you provide pre-clean surveys? Absolutely. We offer free site assessments to identify problem areas and quote for bespoke extraction cleaning solutions.
Can you install access panels if needed? Yes. If your system lacks cleaning access points, we can safely install inspection hatches to enable compliant maintenance.
