Grease filter exchange in Hook, Hampshire

Grease, kitchens and Hook

Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hook, 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. In Hook, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. 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. Hook is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hook Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 4.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
