Which factors determine duration?

A cleaning visit can include preparation, access checks, cleaning, cleanup and agreed photos or reporting.

  • Number of hoods and filters
  • Duct length and inspection access
  • Motor, fan or rooftop unit
  • Contamination level
  • Available workspace in the kitchen
  • Reporting or certificate requirement

Photos before the visit speed up assessment

Photos of the hood, filter zone, duct opening, motor and roof access make it easier to see whether extra preparation is needed.

Align planning with operations

For hospitality locations, planning should fit opening hours, preparation times and accessibility. Work outside opening hours can be discussed when the situation requires it.

Frequently asked questions

Can cleaning happen during opening hours?

That depends on the system and kitchen planning. In many cases, planning outside busy moments is more practical.

Why can duration change after inspection?

Because access, contamination or scope can be different in practice than expected beforehand.
