Grubb Street kitchen extract cleaning

Different parts, different methods

Ductwork and risers

Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.

Canopy and plenum

Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Grubb Street: the local picture

The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Grubb Street. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Grubb Street. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Grubb Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dartford council. 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.

A hospital like Darent Valley Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Lullingstone Castle, about 5 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Grubb Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in Grubb Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
