Canopy and hood cleaning in Swinford, Oxfordshire

Kitchen extracts in Swinford

Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs, bars and clubs in Swinford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Swinford is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Swinford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Radcliffe Infirmary (about 4.2 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Eynsham Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Swinford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens if it’s left?

Grease on the canopy is sitting just above the heat source. A flare-up can catch it and be drawn into the plenum and duct, where a fire is much harder to stop. Cleaning it removes that fuel. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Swinford is calmer for everyone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Swinford

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows 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 simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
