About our kitchen extract cleaning in Brook
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at 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 rancid smells from grease in the duct and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Brook, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Brook: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Somewhere as small as Brook, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Brook
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brook
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Brook, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Questions from Brook
Can you come to Brook after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brook?
Food hygiene inspections in Brook are carried out by Isle of Wight council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you work in Brook?
Yes. We cover Brook and the rest of the Isle of Wight, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Why act early in Brook
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. In a place like Brook, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
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.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brook and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Brook
Brook lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brook. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Brook. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brook (Mottistone Manor is about 1.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

What else we do in Brook
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
