Extract fan cleaning in Fordcombe, Kent

What extract fan cleaning looks like in Fordcombe

Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Fordcombe, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fordcombe. 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. The fire and rescue service for Fordcombe is 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.

Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Groombridge Place is about 1.8 miles south), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Fordcombe, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fordcombe Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Fordcombe, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What your team can do, and what needs us

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
