Beyond “Arm’s Length”
Unlike many providers, Brasco’s cleaning process goes far beyond surface-level duct cleaning:
​
-
Our teams physically enter ducting to clean every accessible area.
-
We thoroughly scrub and scrape canopy interiors, plenums (the high-risk area behind filters), motors, fan blades, casings, silencers, and housings.
-
Filters are removed, soaked in heated cleaning tanks, rinsed, and reinstalled.
-
Where necessary, we install access panels to ensure no part of the system is left untreated.
Full Electrical Support
Brasco’s Electrical Division provides 24-hour standby support, ensuring motors, fans, and control panels are repaired or replaced immediately if faults are found during cleaning.
Compliance & Certification
Every clean includes:
​
-
Post-Clean Report – with before-and-after photographs of key areas (e.g. canopy, ducting, fans).
-
Airflow Measurements – using a digital anemometer to verify efficiency.
-
Certificate of Compliance – recognised by insurers, Environmental Health Inspectors, and Fire Risk Assessors.
​​
This certification is essential for insurance claims and demonstrates that you’ve taken all steps to reduce fire risks.
Why Regular Cleaning is Critical
Dirty, greasy extraction systems are a major fire hazard and insurers may reject claims if systems are not properly maintained. Regular cleaning:
​
-
Prevents the accumulation of fats and oils that reduce airflow and breed bacteria.
-
Maintains air quality for staff and customers.
-
Keeps businesses compliant with the SANS Act 1850:2014 (ed.2.00) and Fire Safety Regulations.
Flexible Scheduling
We understand downtime costs money. That’s why Brasco offers 24/7 service, scheduling cleaning at times most convenient for your operation.
