Why act early in Rew Street
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Rew Street doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rew Street affects everyone who depends on it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Rew Street
Each extract duct we take on in Rew Street goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. We’re often asked to deal with years of grease along the duct floor and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers.
Somewhere as small as Rew Street, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Rew Street questions
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in Rew Street?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Rew Street than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can a school canteen extract in Rew Street be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Rew Street. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.

What else we do in Rew Street
Kitchen extracts in Rew Street
Rew Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rew Street. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Rew Street get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Rew Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Northwood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Osborne House is about 2.8 miles east), access may need planning.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Rew Street can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep to the interval on the report
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
