Little Common grease filter exchange

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

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

What your team can do, and what needs us

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Little Common kitchens: local notes

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Little Common. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Little Common is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Little Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Braintree council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Rayne Primary and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Little Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Braintree Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Little Common, about 1.7 miles north-east.
