Kitchen duct cleaning in Bembridge
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Bembridge, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Bembridge goes.
Kitchens around a place like Bembridge are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.

What else we do in Bembridge
Kitchen extract cleaning around Bembridge
Bembridge is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Bembridge. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Bembridge are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Yaverland Manor is about 2.4 miles south-west), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Bembridge Methodist Church or anywhere around Bembridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Neighbouring places we cover for kitchen extract cleaning include Foreland Fields (1 mile south-east), Hillway (1 mile south-west), St Helens (1 mile north-west), Gaskins (2 miles west) and Nettlestone (2 miles north-west).

Local landmarks in Bembridge
Around Bembridge, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Bembridge School and The Windmill Hotel, among other places. The nearest railway station is Brading station, roughly 2.4 miles west.

Not far away are Bembridge Down and Brading Marshes RSPB reserve.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A site near Bembridge normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bembridge and across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
FAQs for Bembridge
Does the sea air around Bembridge make a difference to kitchen extract cleaning?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Bembridge gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you work in villages like Bembridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bembridge included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bembridge?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bembridge Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
