TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hucking
Any kitchen we clean in Hucking gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
A clean in Hucking covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Hucking starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What affects the quote in Hucking
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs

Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in Hucking is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Hucking is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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.
Hucking kitchens: local notes
About 35 miles out from central London, Hucking is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Hucking get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 3.8 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hucking (Leeds Castle is about 3.2 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Hucking
Which council inspects kitchens in Hucking?
The local authority for Hucking is Maidstone council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Hucking within the area you cover?
Yes, Hucking is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

When to call us in Hucking
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Hucking, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
