We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Hertford

Food Standards Agency data counts about 62 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hertford. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on a fan that gathers grease as it runs. It’s East Hertfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hertford. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hertford sits within the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

If you cook for passing trade around Hertford East station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hertford County Hospital (about less than half a mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Hertford United Reform Church, or anywhere in Hertford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
