Extract fan cleaning in Hale, Surrey

Grease, kitchens and Hale

Look up Hale on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 57 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 sandwich bars and takeaways across Hale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Fire safety in Hale falls to Surrey 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hale are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Historic houses near Hale, such as Farnham Castle about 1.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fleet Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hale, about 4.8 miles north-west. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Church of St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Hale, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hale and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
