Churchill extract fan cleaning

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Churchill

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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Grease, kitchens and Churchill

There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Churchill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Churchill are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Churchill sits within the area of Oxfordshire 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 Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Churchill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kingham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Chastleton House, about 3.8 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Churchill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
