Sarratt canopy cleaning

Grease, kitchens and Sarratt

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Sarratt. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Three Rivers council inspect food businesses in Sarratt. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Sarratt sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Leavesden Hospital (about 4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Cross, or anywhere in Sarratt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Sarratt is about 3 miles north of Rickmansworth, in Hertfordshire. Sarratt gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Our Hertfordshire coverage runs to 381 places, Sarratt among them. You can also see our page for London, roughly 21 miles from Sarratt.

Leave it or put it right?

For a kitchen in Sarratt, a canopy that looks greasy can colour a whole inspection. A clean hood is a sign the kitchen is cared for and keeping it that way is easier than catching up. In a small place like Sarratt, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part

Plenums and filter housings

A plenum that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time can hold a thick layer of grease. We remove thick grease by hand, then degrease.

School and staff canteen kitchens

In a school or workplace canteen, the canopy is often the only part of the extract staff ever see. We clean it and the plenum behind the filters, so what’s out of sight is dealt with too.
