TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hinxhill Park
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Hinxhill Park, usually within one working day. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Hinxhill Park asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Hinxhill Park goes.
Work in a small place like Hinxhill Park starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Visits to a village like Hinxhill Park are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hinxhill Park
Look up Hinxhill Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hinxhill Park. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Fire safety in Hinxhill Park falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Hinxhill Park are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Godinton House is about 3.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hinxhill Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When to call us in Hinxhill Park
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hinxhill Park is William Harvey Hospital, about under half a mile north-west.

Hinxhill Park questions
Which environmental health team covers Hinxhill Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Hinxhill Park are carried out by Ashford council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hinxhill Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Hinxhill Park is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Hinxhill Park?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Do you cover Hinxhill Park?
Yes. We work in Hinxhill Park and across Kent, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Why act early in Hinxhill Park
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Hinxhill Park rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
