Canopy and hood cleaning in Gunville, Isle of Wight

Canopy cleaning around Gunville

Look up Gunville on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 51 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in Gunville and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Food hygiene inspections in Gunville are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Gunville sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Carisbrooke College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Gunville, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 0.8 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Gunville is about 1 mile west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Gunville and across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
