TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brookgreen
Kitchen extract cleaning for Brookgreen, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Brookgreen
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Typical jobs include missing paperwork after a change of operator and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points. When a restaurant in Brookgreen asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Brookgreen, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Brookgreen
Do you work overnight in Brookgreen?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Brookgreen doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Brookgreen?
Yes, Brookgreen is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Brookgreen.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- 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.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Kitchen extracts in Brookgreen
Brookgreen lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Brookgreen. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Brookgreen falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Brookgreen, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Common problems we fix in Brookgreen
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 0.9 miles north-east), access may need planning.

What affects the quote in Brookgreen
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. With notice, the visit to Brookgreen can be fitted around your bookings and events.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
