Kitchen Extract and Jet Fan Servicing in Dubai
A grease laden extract duct is a fire that has not started yet.
Commercial kitchen extract degreasing, basement jet fans and smoke spill fans, with certification.
MELLS degreases the full commercial kitchen extract system in Dubai: canopy, baffle filters, plenum, the horizontal and vertical duct runs and the extract fan, with photographs at every access point and a certificate.
Cleaned to the standard your inspector uses
A commercial kitchen is judged on the parts nobody photographs: the inside of the canopy, the baffle housing, and the first metres of duct. That is what we open.
- Canopy, baffles and plenum stripped and degreased
- Duct run cleaned to accessible extent
- Photographic record issued after every visit
Scheduled around your operating hours
Nobody closes a kitchen for a clean. We work overnight or between services, and the line is back in operation before your first prep shift.
- Overnight and between service slots
- Food safe products throughout
- Signed off before the kitchen reopens
Jet fans and make-up air included
Extract is only half the system. If the supply side is dirty the kitchen stays hot and smoky no matter how clean the canopy is.
- Jet fan impellers cleaned and balanced
- Make-up air units serviced
- Airflow checked before and after
Before anything is quoted
We look at the property before we put a number on it
A price list cannot see your marble, your ducts, or the wall the afternoon sun hits. So we come and look. A senior member of the team surveys the property, and you receive a written quotation the same day, itemised, with what is included and what is not.
No obligation. If we are not the right company for the job we will say so, and tell you who is.
- 01The survey
We look at the property, not a price list. Usually the same day you ask.
- 02The written quote
Fixed, itemised, and sent the same day. What is included, and what is not.
- 03The work
A named supervisor and a crew you will see again. Our own equipment and materials.
- 04The walkthrough
We walk the property with you before the team leaves. Anything not right is dealt with then.
About this service
What is kitchen extract & jet fan servicing and what does it include?
Insurers and civil defence both ask the same question, and the answer is a certificate with a date on it.
Commercial kitchen extract systems accumulate a layer of grease along the full run of ductwork, not just at the hood and the filters where it is visible. That deposit is combustible, and a flare up at the range that would normally be contained has, in a grease laden duct, a path to travel. It is one of the most common causes of serious commercial fire, which is why insurers and civil defence both treat cleaning records as a compliance matter rather than a housekeeping one.
We clean the full system, not the visible end of it. Hood, filters, plenum, the horizontal and vertical duct runs, and the extract fan itself, degreased back to bare metal where the system allows and access panels cut and properly sealed where a run has none. Deposit thickness is measured before and after and photographed, which is the part that makes the certificate meaningful. On the ventilation side, basement jet fans, smoke spill fans and car park extract are inspected, cleaned and function tested, including checking they actually run in the direction the fire strategy assumes.

View serviceFrequently asked questions
Who does kitchen extract and jet fan servicing near me in Dubai?
MELLS covers ninety communities across Dubai and works in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises. Message +971 58 656 3001 on WhatsApp with your community and we will confirm availability.
What is the best kitchen extract and jet fan servicing company in Dubai?
Judge any company on three things: whether the team is directly employed or subcontracted, whether the quote is fixed in writing before work starts, and whether a supervisor walks the property with you at the end. MELLS does all three as standard.
How quickly can you start kitchen extract and jet fan servicing?
Survey usually the same day you ask, quotation the same day, and work scheduled within forty eight hours in most cases. Urgent call outs are handled the same day where the team is free.
Is kitchen extract and jet fan servicing safe for children and pets?
Yes. Products are selected for occupied family homes as the default, re entry times are told to you before we leave, and anything stronger is only ever used with your agreement.
How often should a commercial kitchen extract system be cleaned in Dubai?
Most busy kitchens need the full system quarterly, lighter operations twice a year. It depends on cooking volume and cooking type rather than a fixed rule.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Dubai?
It is priced after a survey, because grease depth varies enormously between a grill line and a pastry section. Portfolios are quoted as one schedule across all sites.
Do you provide a certificate for inspection?
Yes. Photographs at each access point before and after, a written report, and a certificate stating what was cleaned and when. That record is usually what an inspector or insurer actually wants.
Will the kitchen have to close?
No. Almost all of it happens overnight or on a closure day, and the kitchen is food safe and ready for service the next morning.
How do I get a quote from MELLS?
Message us on WhatsApp on +971 58 656 3001 or call the same number. A senior member of the team surveys the property and you receive a written itemised quotation the same day.
Which areas of the UAE does MELLS cover?
Ninety communities across Dubai for residential work, and Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah for commercial premises.
How often does a kitchen extract need cleaning?
It depends on cooking volume rather than the calendar. Heavy use kitchens are typically quarterly, moderate use twice a year, light use annually. We set the interval at survey.
Is cleaning the filters enough?
No. Filters catch a share of the grease, and the rest travels along the duct. A system cleaned only at the hood still has a combustible deposit through the full run.
What if our ductwork has no access panels?
We cut and fit them properly, then seal them. A run that cannot be accessed cannot be cleaned or certified, so this is usually part of the first visit.
Will we get a certificate?
Yes, with before and after deposit measurements and photographs. That is what insurers and civil defence actually want, rather than an invoice saying the work was done.
Do you test the basement jet fans as well?
Yes, including checking they run in the direction the fire strategy assumes. Fans that spin the wrong way pass a casual look and fail the moment they matter.
Ready to book kitchen extract & jet fan servicing?
