Whetsted ductwork cleaning

Kitchen extracts in Whetsted

The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Whetsted. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Whetsted. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Whetsted. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Paddock Wood Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A kitchen near Paddock Wood station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Different parts, different methods

Access panels

Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.

Bends and transitions

Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
