Ventilation duct cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hinxhill
When the work is finished, you get a TR19® certificate and before and after pictures. It shows what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the system should next be inspected, so you have it all on record. Typical jobs include grilles and diffusers streaked with dirt and rooms that feel airless when the system runs, across toilet extract systems, supply ductwork and offices and schools.
In a village or hamlet like Hinxhill, few buildings have mechanical ventilation, but where it’s fitted, it needs the same inspection and cleaning as anywhere.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
Ventilation duct cleaning around Hinxhill
Food Standards Agency data includes about 8 care, childcare and hospital premises in Hinxhill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Many buildings of this kind have supply and extract ductwork that gathers dust and needs inspecting. At about 51 miles from central London, Hinxhill sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. About 0.7 miles west of Hinxhill is William Harvey Hospital, the nearest hospital. Clean air matters most where people are unwell, and that is as true in a care home as in a hospital.

Common questions in Hinxhill
Can you come to Hinxhill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Hinxhill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Hinxhill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hinxhill is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens if parts of the ductwork cannot be reached?
Those sections are recorded as not cleaned in the report, so it’s clear what’s outstanding. We can fit new access panels so they’re covered next time.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does ventilation cleaning take?
Expect it to take a shift or two for a small system, longer for a whole building. The size of the system and the access make the biggest difference.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ventilation duct cleaning will not do:
- A system that isn’t designed to move enough air
- Controls and BMS faults that affect the system
- Leaks from roofs, pipes or walls into the ductwork
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hinxhill
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hinxhill and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What the work involves, part by part
Hospitals and care homes
Dust control matters during work in occupied care settings. The area is protected, and debris contained and removed.
Schools and colleges
Classrooms full of people, paper and coats produce plenty of dust. Inspection shows when cleaning is due.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a weekend for a modest system, with large buildings phased floor by floor. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Hinxhill can be planned properly.
- We agree timings that suit the building, including evenings and weekends.
- We open the ductwork through its access panels.
- Before pictures are taken and the ducts cleaned section by section.
- We clean the grilles and diffusers and put them back.
- After pictures are taken and the certificate and report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Hinxhill
Refits and building work send dust into ventilation systems, particularly if it’s left running while work goes on. Plaster, wood and masonry dust can sit in the ducts for years.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached for cleaning
- Poor airflow from the vents
- Construction dust left in ducts after a refit
- Systems with no record of inspection or cleaning
Healthcare ventilation, from large hospitals like William Harvey Hospital (about 0.7 miles west) to small clinics, depends on clean filters, coils and ducts.
