Extract fan cleaning in Worth, Kent

Kitchen extracts in Worth

Sea air reaches Worth, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Worth and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen extract among them ends at a fan, and grease on the impeller strains the motor. Food hygiene inspections in Worth are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Worth Primary School or anywhere near Worth, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Worth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Ramsgate General Hospital (about 6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Part by part

Roof-mounted fans

On a roof, the air is cooler and grease drops out faster. The impeller and housing are scraped and degreased.

Wall fans

With little duct before them, wall fans collect grease fast. They can need regular attention, which grease readings will show.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

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

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

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.
