Kitchen extracts in Branstone
Branstone lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Branstone. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Branstone get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Branstone (Haseley Manor is about 1.2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Newchurch Primary School or anywhere near Branstone, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Branstone is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 1.8 miles south-east.

About our grease filter exchange in Branstone
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke and heat lingering under the hood and blocked baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Branstone, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Branstone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Always run the extract while cooking
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. With notice, the visit to Branstone can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
