South Kensington grease filter exchange

Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. South Kensington is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in South Kensington are the job of Kensington and Chelsea council’s environmental health team. 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 a church or community hall kitchen, near Chapel of St Luke or elsewhere in South Kensington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Marsden Hospital is the nearest hospital to South Kensington, about under half a mile east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Our Lady of Victories RC Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Managing agents and facilities teams in South Kensington

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

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.
