Laundry Extraction System Cleaning

Protect Your Premises. Prevent Fires. Comply with UK Regulations.

At Canopy Cleaning Services, we specialise in professional laundry extraction system cleaning across the UK. Our expert services are essential for commercial laundries, hotels, care homes, hospitals, and any facility that operates high-use laundry systems. Over time, lint, fibres, dust, and grease build up within dryer ductwork and extraction systems, creating a significant fire hazard if not regularly cleaned.

Regular, certified cleaning not only protects your property and staff but also ensures you remain compliant with UK fire safety legislation and insurance requirements.

 

Why Laundry Extraction Cleaning Is Critical

Laundry extraction systems move large volumes of warm, lint-filled air through ducting and filters. Without scheduled cleaning, dangerous deposits of lint and grease accumulate and can easily ignite, often with devastating consequences.

Failure to maintain your system can lead to:

• 🔥 Increased fire risk — dryer lint is highly flammable

• ❌ Insurance invalidation in the event of a fire

• 💨 Reduced drying efficiency and higher energy costs

• 👷 Increased maintenance issues and system wear

• 🏥 Compromised hygiene in healthcare and hospitality environments

Legal & Insurance Compliance in the UK

Neglecting to clean your laundry extraction system is a serious oversight with legal and financial consequences. Here are key regulations you must comply with:

 

⚖️ Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Under this law, the “responsible person” must identify and reduce fire risks. Accumulated lint in extraction systems is a major fire hazard that must be professionally addressed.

⚖️ Insurance Policy Requirements

Most commercial property and liability insurers require proof that laundry extraction systems are cleaned regularly by qualified professionals. Without this, any fire-related claim could be rejected.

⚖️ Health & Safety at Work Act 1974

Employers must provide a safe working environment. This includes eliminating known fire risks and ensuring systems are functioning safely.

Fires in commercial laundry systems are far more common than most people realise — and most are preventable.
