Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) Maintenance in Bristol: Keeping Your Kitchen Airflow Clean and Compliant

At KESC Ltd, we provide expert ESP maintenance in Bristol, helping commercial kitchens across the region keep their extraction systems clean, efficient, and fire-safe.

An Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) plays a crucial role in your kitchen’s ventilation system. Designed to capture grease particles using electrical charges, ESPs reduce the volume of grease and smoke entering your ductwork — significantly cutting down on fire risks and the need for frequent extraction cleaning.

With over a decade of experience, and certifications from BESA, NAAD, CHAS & SafeContractor, we support businesses in Bristol with trusted ESP maintenance that improves air quality, extends system lifespan, and helps meet compliance obligations.

Why ESP Maintenance is Vital for Your Kitchen Ventilation System

Without regular servicing, ESP units become clogged with grease and carbon particles - leading to poor airflow, inefficient grease capture, and increased fire hazards. This can also cause your system to overwork, reducing lifespan and increasing operational costs.

Our ESP maintenance service in Bristol ensures your system continues to perform safely and effectively by:

  • Removing grease and debris build-up from ESP filters and collector cells
  • Testing plasma units and high-voltage components
  • Checking for system faults, arcing, or burn marks
  • Providing before-and-after photo reports for insurance and compliance
  • Offering flexible scheduling - including overnight servicing
