Grease Filter Exchange in Smallford

What staff can safely do

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Smallford kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Smallford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Smallford are the job of St Albans City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Smallford is covered by Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hill End Hospital is the nearest hospital to Smallford, about 1.4 miles south-west. Where a hall near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Smallford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Nicholas Breakspear Catholic School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
