About our grease filter exchange in Hinxhill Park
An exchange visit in Hinxhill Park doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Hinxhill Park run smoothly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Hinxhill Park
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Other services in Hinxhill Park
Grease filter exchange around Hinxhill Park
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Hinxhill Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hinxhill Park is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Hinxhill Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Harvey Hospital about less than half a mile north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Hinxhill Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Always run the extract while cooking
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Hinxhill Park
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hinxhill Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Hinxhill Park is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Hinxhill Park?
Yes. Hinxhill Park is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
