New Barn TR19 inspection

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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.

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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Kitchen extracts in New Barn

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around New Barn, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. New Barn is covered by 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. In New Barn, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dartford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Historic houses near New Barn, such as Cobham College about 3.1 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in New Barn, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
