Kitchen extract cleaning in Norbury, Greater London

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Norbury

Look up Norbury on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 179 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 174 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Norbury. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Norbury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Croydon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Norbury is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Oswald, or anywhere in Norbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

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.
