Is Your Kitchen Exhaust Choking on Grease? Professional Chimney & Oil Filter Degreasing Services That Restore Safety & Performance

on

A clogged, grease-filled chimney and oil filter reduce ventilation, increase fire risk, and make your commercial or home kitchen inefficient. Whether you run a restaurant in Gurgaon, manage a cloud kitchen in Delhi, or maintain an industrial cooking setup in Mumbai, professional chimney oil filter degreasing is essential for safety, hygiene and regulatory compliance. Read on to learn what the service includes, why it matters, and how AKS Facilities helps businesses and homeowners with reliable degreasing across India.

What is chimney & oil filter degreasing?

Chimney and oil filter degreasing is a deep-cleaning process that removes built-up grease, carbon deposits, soot, and cooking residues from kitchen chimneys, exhaust hoods, and filter assemblies. The service typically includes:

  • Inspection of the exhaust system and ductwork

  • Safe removal of grease-laden baffles and filters

  • High-pressure steam cleaning or chemical degreasing of chimneys, hoods, ducts, and fans

  • Reassembly, testing, and post-service reporting

  • Recommendations for maintenance frequency and fire-safety improvements

This is more than a surface clean — it restores airflow, reduces odor, and removes the thick, flammable residue that accumulates over time.

Why professional degreasing matters (don’t risk a kitchen fire)

Grease buildup is combustible. In commercial kitchens where frying and high-heat cooking are constant, grease forms layers inside hoods, chimneys and ducts. Left unchecked, that grease:

  • Increases the risk of kitchen fires.

  • Reduces exhaust efficiency and indoor air quality.

  • Shortens the life of motors and fan assemblies.

  • Violates local health and fire safety regulations for food businesses.

Professional degreasing uses safe, industry-approved solvents and techniques to remove grease without damaging equipment — something DIY wiping can’t achieve.

Our chimney oil filter degreasing process (what to expect)

AKS Facilities follows a systematic approach designed for safety and minimal disruption:

  1. Detailed inspection & quote — We identify grease levels, access points, and any damaged components.

  2. Pre-protection — Equipment and surrounding areas are covered to prevent cross-contamination.

  3. Safe removal of filters & baffles — Components are taken out for controlled cleaning.

  4. Steam or chemical degreasing — Depending on grease levels and material, we use appropriate methods (high-pressure steam, hot-water wash, or eco-friendly degreasers).

  5. Duct & fan cleaning — Accessible duct runs and fans are cleaned to reinstate airflow.

  6. Reassembly & functional testing — Filters and chimneys are reinstalled and the system tested for airflow and noise.

  7. Documentation & recommendations — You receive a service report and a suggested maintenance schedule.

Who needs this service?

  • Restaurants, cloud kitchens, hotels and catering units

  • Food courts in malls and institutional kitchens (hospitals, colleges)

  • Commercial cafeterias and canteens

If you handle frying, tandoor-style cooking, or any oil-intensive process, scheduled degreasing should be part of your safety routine.
