Grease filter exchange in Dagenham Dock, Greater London

Grease, kitchens and Dagenham Dock

Look up Dagenham Dock on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 46 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 26 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Dagenham Dock, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Environmental health officers from Barking and Dagenham council inspect food businesses in Dagenham Dock. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Dagenham Dock is Barking Community Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west. For schools such as St Peter's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why deal with it now?

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
