Extract Fan Cleaning in Smithfield

Extract fan cleaning around Smithfield

Look up Smithfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4,705 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 1,069 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Smithfield. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Food hygiene inspections in Smithfield are the job of the City of London Corporation’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

What the work involves, part by part

Kitchens with long cooking hours

Kitchens that cook 12 to 16 hours a day put the most grease through their fans. BESA guidance sets at least 3-monthly cleaning for that level of use, fan included.

Impellers and blades

The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. That’s what unbalances the fan, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
