Grease Filter Exchange in Old Oak Common

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

How the job changes from site to site

Baffle filters

Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.

Mesh filters

Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.

Look up Old Oak Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 410 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 159 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Old Oak Common. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in Old Oak Common. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hammersmith Hospital about 0.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Old Oak Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
