Bower Heath canopy cleaning

Leave it or put it right?

Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. It’s a food hygiene concern as much as a fire concern, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bower Heath affects everyone who depends on it.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Bower Heath kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 34 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bower Heath. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. In Bower Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from St Albans City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Bower Heath sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

School kitchens, at schools like Sauncey Wood Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Albans City Hospital (about 5.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods

Wall canopies

Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. We work along the canopy section by section, with photos for each.

Island canopies

Island canopies hang over cooking in the middle of the kitchen, which means grease settles on all four sides. We clean all of them, inside and out.
