Extract fan cleaning in Ditchling Common, West Sussex

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Extract fan cleaning around Ditchling Common

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Ditchling Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ditchling Common. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Ditchling Common is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Birchwood Grove Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ockenden Manor is about 4.7 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Francis Hospital (about 3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
