Sole Street extract fan cleaning

Grease, kitchens and Sole Street

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways in Sole Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, an extract fan is pulling grease-laden air through its blades every service. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in Sole Street. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Sole Street sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Commuter trade near Sole Street station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sole Street

For a kitchen in Sole Street, a noisy, greasy fan is often the first sign the whole system is overdue. Grease on the fan means grease in the duct before it so a full TR19 clean may be due. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
