Ductwork cleaning in Godshill, Isle of Wight

Grease, kitchens and Godshill

There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Godshill, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Godshill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Godshill sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Godshill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Godshill Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Sheat Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

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