Owlsmoor kitchen extract cleaning

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

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.

Multi-site and managed buildings

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.

Extract fan and discharge

The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Owlsmoor

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 27 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 24 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Owlsmoor, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Owlsmoor is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Owlsmoor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Pinewood Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Owlsmoor Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near St George's Church, or anywhere in Owlsmoor, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
