What is included
Grease that gets past the filters settles inside the duct and on the fan, where it restricts extraction and becomes a fire risk. We degrease the full exhaust path, not only the visible canopy, work around your service hours and hand over dated photographs. Any landlord, insurer or authority requirement for cleaning records is checked at the site visit.
- Canopy, plenum and grease channels degreased
- Baffle filters soaked, degreased and refitted
- Horizontal and vertical duct runs cleaned through access panels
- Exhaust fan blades and housing degreased
- Cooking equipment and floors sheeted before work starts
- Waste grease collected and removed from site
- Advice on where extra access panels are needed
- Dated photographs of each section before and after
- Service report for your kitchen records
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site survey and method statement. We walk the premises with your facilities contact, record areas, finishes and access rules, and issue a written method statement and risk assessment.
- Schedule around your operation. Work is planned for early mornings, evenings or overnight so staff, customers and tenants are not disturbed.
- Supervised crews with checklists. A named supervisor runs the same uniformed crew each visit against a room by room checklist.
- Audit and reporting. Each visit is photographed. Retained contracts receive a monthly report covering attendance, audits and any corrective actions.
