Kitchen extract cleaning in Hanworth, Bracknell Forest

Kitchen extract cleaning in Hanworth: the local picture

Food Standards Agency records list about 30 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways in Hanworth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Hanworth. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Hanworth are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

School kitchens, at schools like The Pines School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Hanworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Pinewood Hospital, about 1.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What the work involves, part by part

Canopy and plenum

The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.

Grease filters

Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
