Why you are Vulnerable?

Since a kitchen is designated as a fire compartment, any extract ductwork will form a penetration of the fire compartment and therefore must provide a high degree of fire safety.

Before

After

There have been some high profile fires associated with kitchen extract ventilation that underline the extent of the risk. The most infamous is the fire at Heathrow Terminal 1 in December 1997. As a result the whole terminal was out of action during the incident. The motorway service station fire at South Mims in August 1998 is another example where the losses were very significant.
