Ductwork cleaning in Middleton, Milton Keynes

Kitchen extracts in Middleton

Food Standards Agency data counts about 41 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 17 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Middleton. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Environmental health officers from Milton Keynes council inspect food businesses in Middleton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Middleton is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Linford Manor is about 3.1 miles north-west), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milton Keynes University Hospital about 1.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Middleton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

How the job changes from site to site

Access panels

After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.

Multi-storey and shared buildings

A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
