Extract fan cleaning in East Street, Kent

What staff can safely do

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Extract fan cleaning in East Street: the local picture

There are about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around East Street, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers East Street. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in East Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

For schools such as Sandwich Technology School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ramsgate General Hospital is the nearest hospital to East Street, about 5.7 miles north-east. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 4.3 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
