Branstone kitchens: local notes
Branstone lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Branstone, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Branstone is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Branstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Branstone is about 5 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Branstone gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Branstone is one of 125 towns, villages and districts in the Isle of Wight we cover for commercial clients. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby, about 12 miles away.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Branstone
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Branstone, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Branstone

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep grease collection points emptied
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Visits to a village like Branstone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Branstone
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Branstone?
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 1.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Branstone questions
Which environmental health team covers Branstone?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Branstone. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Branstone?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Branstone. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
