Kitchen Extract and Grease Management

Describe the outcome required as well as the immediate issue. The starting information should identify the location, people affected and any change in use, so the assessment addresses the current requirement rather than simply repeating the previous arrangement.

The instruction identifies canopy, filters, duct sections, fans and access points included in inspection or cleaning. It records inaccessible areas and any repair required. Grease management also needs clear operator tasks and coordination with waste or drainage arrangements where relevant.

Cleaning scope must follow the actual system. Concealed or inaccessible sections need a defined access solution, not an unsupported statement that the whole route is clean. Extract grease and drainage grease have different systems and maintenance requirements, even when they originate in the same kitchen.

The proposal identifies the responsibilities that remain with the site or property team and the work included in our instruction. Connected repairs and specialist activities receive their own clear scope, so each person understands what they must arrange and what records they will receive.

Provide the kitchen address, operator details and shared duct or roof permissions. Identify access through other occupiers and finishes needing protection. Agree who authorises panels, repairs and cleaning of connected areas.

Assessment establishes the system boundaries and condition, then defines cleaning and access work. The report records areas reached and remaining limitations. Handover identifies ongoing operator care and the evidence supporting the next planned intervention.

The property owner receives a clear account of the work and any follow-up required. Where premises are occupied, we agree the relevant notices, access and handback arrangements so users understand what has changed and who to contact afterwards.

Route length, deposits, access, height and working hours affect cost. New access panels or repairs can create separate tasks. Compare quotations by the actual sections covered and evidence supplied rather than a generic kitchen-cleaning label.

Agree access, occupant communication and any associated reinstatement before work starts. For a remotely managed property, identify the local contact and approval route so findings can receive a decision without losing the detail needed by the owner.

Managing agents need responsibilities and approvals connected to the correct owner. Residential blocks need communal and individual areas distinguished. Retail and hospitality need work coordinated with customers and occupiers. Our complete service and project offering supports all sectors, with scope suited to the property and the people using it.

We cover Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, County Durham and Tees Valley, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Alnwick, Morpeth, Hexham, Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Middlesbrough. View all locations.

For several properties, provide separate access and occupancy information. A remote owner can nominate a local representative while retaining a clear route for approving the work.

No. The scope must identify filters, ducts, fans and other included sections.

The programme should reflect cooking activity, condition and relevant requirements, with the reason for the interval recorded.

Record the limitation and define the access or follow-up action needed.

Only where drainage work is specified. Extract deposits and drainage grease need distinct scopes.
