This ensures every job is carried out safely and to the highest industry standards.
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.
