About our ductwork cleaning in Park Farm
If the ducts in Park Farm haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and sections of duct with no access panels, we can help, from access panels, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers onwards.
In a smaller place like Park Farm, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Grease, kitchens and Park Farm
Food Standards Agency data counts about 33 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Park Farm. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. In Park Farm, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Park Farm. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Park Farm, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Kingsnorth Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Other services in Park Farm
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We plan the journey to Park Farm and bring what the job is likely to need.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
When to call us in Park Farm
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Park Farm (Godinton House is about 3.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Common questions in Park Farm
Who inspects food businesses in Park Farm?
Food hygiene inspections in Park Farm are carried out by Ashford council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Park Farm?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Park Farm. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
You get a photo report with before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. In a smaller place like Park Farm, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
