What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Carisbrooke
The fan is cleaned as part of every full TR19® Grease clean, but some fans need cleaning between full cleans, for example when it’s noisy or vibrating. Where only the fan is cleaned, the report says so. If you’re dealing with a motor area thick with grease and a fan that has never been cleaned, we can put it right.
Around a smaller place like Carisbrooke, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Carisbrooke
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When to call us in Carisbrooke
Grease condenses as the air cools, and on a roof or outside wall the fan can be in some of the coolest air in the system. That makes it a natural place for grease to settle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan with no cleaning record
- A fan that no longer moves enough air
- A fan that hums, whines or rumbles
- A motor area thick with grease
A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What else we do in Carisbrooke
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration from an unbalanced impeller doesn’t stay small. It wears bearings and mounts and can lead to a breakdown, which may leave the kitchen without extraction. A planned clean beats an emergency. A planned visit to Carisbrooke fits your hours; an emergency does not.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease in the duct and canopy before the fan (those need a full TR19 clean)
- A fan that won’t start
- Wiring faults to the fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Carisbrooke: your questions answered
Can the work in Carisbrooke be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Carisbrooke needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Carisbrooke?
The local authority for Carisbrooke is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is the fan isolated during cleaning?
We always isolate the fan first, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
What’s the cleaning interval for an extract fan?
It’s cleaned with the whole extract at BESA’s minimum intervals for your cooking hours. Readings may show it needs cleaning more often.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Carisbrooke needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- Blades, housing and the area around the motor are degreased with care.
- It’s closed up, run and checked, and pictures go into your report.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Grease, kitchens and Carisbrooke
The FSA’s data shows about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Carisbrooke. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Carisbrooke is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Carisbrooke are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Carisbrooke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 0.3 miles south-east), access may need planning.
