School & college kitchen
extraction cleaning.

Institutional catering kitchens prepare meals to a planned timetable, often at volume. Apex provides commercial extraction cleaning with a scope based on the cooking equipment, accessible system and practical site arrangements.

Your kitchen, your requirements

Planned around
institutional catering.

School and college kitchens can prepare many meals within a concentrated production period. Ranges, large cooking pans and other catering equipment may share substantial canopies and connected extraction routes.

Meal preparation, term dates and premises-access arrangements matter when discussing a booking. We confirm practical requirements rather than assuming access is always available.

01

Meal production

Explain the cooking equipment, preparation pattern and kitchen areas involved so we understand the catering operation.

02

Institutional equipment

Larger appliances and tray-handling areas can affect access to the canopy and connected extraction components.

03

Timetables and site access

Tell us about meal preparation times, term dates and the school's or college's access procedures. Booking availability is agreed separately.

04

Facilities coordination

Identify the catering or facilities contact and any requirements for reaching access panels or remote fan equipment.

We clean commercial extraction canopies, grease filters and associated accessible areas above school or college catering equipment, addressing accumulated cooking deposits.
