Grease filter exchange in Summertown, Oxfordshire

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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, next to our reports.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Grease, kitchens and Summertown

There are about 83 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops across Summertown and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Summertown is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Summertown get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Summer Fields School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Holywell Manor is about 1.7 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Summertown, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Summertown is about 2 miles north-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire.
