Schools & Universities — Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Swansea

Swansea is an education city. Swansea University's Singleton and Bay campuses, the University of Wales Trinity Saint David in the city centre, Gower College's campuses in Gorseinon and Tycoch, and well over a hundred primary and secondary schools all run catering kitchens — from a 1,500-meal production kitchen at a large comprehensive to a small primary servery with a single canopy. Every one of them is a commercial kitchen under TR19 and the Fire Safety Order, and every one of them is full of people who are somebody's children.

We arrange TR19-focused extract cleaning quotes for schools, colleges, universities, nurseries and student-accommodation kitchens across Swansea Bay, scheduled around the academic calendar and documented for local-authority and institutional compliance.

The term-time problem, and the holiday answer

A school kitchen cannot be cleaned while children are on site, and it rarely has a quiet day in term. It does have thirteen weeks a year when the kitchen is cold, the building is quiet and access is easy. Full extract cleans are booked into half-terms, Easter and the summer holiday, which also keeps the provider's team away from pupils entirely. University kitchens follow the same pattern around vacations and reading weeks.

Frequency for institutional kitchens

A school production kitchen cooking a single lunch service is usually moderate use under TR19 — around six hours of cooking a day — and a six-monthly clean fits neatly into the Christmas and summer holidays. University refectories serving breakfast to dinner are heavy use and benefit from a quarterly schedule. Small serveries that reheat rather than cook are light use and annual.

Council, academy trust and procurement requirements

Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Carmarthenshire councils and the growing number of federated schools each have their own contractor requirements — insurance levels, method statements, risk assessments and DBS checks where staff could be on site during term. Tell us who the duty-holder is and the quote will be built to meet the paperwork, so the business manager is not chasing documents after the fact.

What the clean covers

A TR19-standard clean takes in the canopy and baffle filters, the full ductwork run and the extract fan, with grease-depth readings before and after. You receive a certificate, photographs and a next-service date to file with the school's fire-risk assessment and the estates compliance record.

Multi-site trusts and catering contractors

Where one catering contractor or one trust runs several school kitchens, a single quote across all of them puts every site on one holiday-based schedule with aligned dates and one set of records — which is what a trust-level fire-safety audit wants to see.
