Duct cleaning in Hockenden

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hockenden

There are about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hockenden, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Hockenden is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Hockenden, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hockenden, about 2.4 miles north-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hockenden, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
