Kitchen duct cleaning in Lympne
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right. Kitchens in Lympne book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Lympne, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Lympne
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Planning a trip to Lympne ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Questions from Lympne
Which fire authority looks after Lympne?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Lympne. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Lympne?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lympne included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Lympne: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Lympne. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Lympne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Lympne is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Westenhanger Castle, about 1.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Lympne; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Lympne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Lympne is about 2 miles west of Hythe, in Kent. Sites in Lympne get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Lympne is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 25 miles from Lympne.
Every address in CT21 is within our area for kitchen extract cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need kitchen extract cleaning at premises on The Street, Harman Avenue and Tourney Close or anywhere close by, we can help. If your site is just outside Lympne, we cover Berwick (1 mile north-east), West Hythe (1 mile south-east), Newingreen (1 mile north-east), Westenhanger (1 mile north-east) and Pedlinge (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (8 miles north-west), Canterbury (14 miles north), Dover (13 miles east), Folkestone (6 miles east), Tower Hamlets (12 miles east) and Hawkinge (6 miles north-east).

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Lympne
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lympne Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Lympne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Lympne before we set off.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
