Grease filter exchange in Smithfield, Greater London

Grease filter exchange around Smithfield

Food Standards Agency records list about 4,705 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 1,069 takeaways in Smithfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. The fire and rescue service for Smithfield is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Smithfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from the City of London Corporation. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Finsbury Health Centre about 0.5 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Charterhouse Square School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Bartholomew-the-Less or elsewhere in Smithfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

For landlords and multi-site operators

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

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.
