Kitchen Extract Cleaning

1. Canopy and filter-area cleaning.
2. Accessible duct and fan sections.
3. Records of treated and inaccessible areas.

The written scope sets out the work areas, retained items and completion information. For an individual property, agree who can approve the work and whether making good, removal and final presentation are included.

Define the whole route and access points. Cleaning only the visible canopy does not establish the condition of hidden ductwork. Agree the rooms, surfaces and finished condition expected, plus access, keys and any furniture or belongings that need moving.

Provide system layout, access panels, previous reports, cooking patterns and shutdown times. Explain who occupies the property, how access will be arranged and any fixed dates such as a handover or reopening. Mark items and areas that must remain untouched.

The enquiry establishes the required outcome and available information. Assessment then confirms canopy and filter-area cleaning and the practical limits of the instruction. The agreed method and scope define the sequence, protection and access arrangements before work begins.

At completion, check the agreed areas and explain any care instructions, remaining limitations or further work. Keep the repair or service record with the property information so future decisions do not start from scratch.

The main variables are duct length, access, grease loading, fan location and kitchen downtime. These determine the resources, work sequence and time needed; a photograph or broad area alone may not establish the full scope.

Agree what must be moved or protected, which spaces can remain in use and whether the work needs more than one visit. Include preparation and reinstatement when comparing proposals.

Offices need coordination around desks and meeting spaces; education settings need controlled access around occupied rooms; hospitality requires attention to food areas and service times. These are examples of the planning questions, with the complete range in sectors.

Black & White Property Services covers North East England, including Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley. Include the postcode and site-access details when enquiring, whether the property is in Newcastle, Gateshead, Durham, Middlesbrough or another listed area. Use the location directory to explore the full coverage.

No. Ducts, fans and other components may need separate access. The report should identify what was cleaned and what remained inaccessible.

Provide system layout, access panels, previous reports, cooking patterns and shutdown times. Add the intended result and any fixed access dates. Existing reports help avoid assumptions about what has already been investigated or agreed.

Duct length, access, grease loading, fan location and kitchen downtime are the main starting points. An agreed scope should show which preparation, access and completion activities are included, so proposals can be compared on the same basis.

Keep a description of the completed scope, relevant photographs or service information and any follow-up advice. The record should distinguish the agreed result from additional work that has not been instructed.

Read cleaning and hygiene planning guidance for the decisions behind the service. Repair versus replacement explains how to compare condition, cost and disruption where an asset or building element needs attention.
