Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Carisbrooke? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Carisbrooke goes well beyond the canopy.
Around a smaller place like Carisbrooke, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Carisbrooke
Look up Carisbrooke on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 57 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Carisbrooke, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Carisbrooke sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Carisbrooke 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Carisbrooke Castle, about 0.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Carisbrooke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

When to call us in Carisbrooke
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. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
What we are most often called out for:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Carisbrooke.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Carisbrooke
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Carisbrooke?
Food hygiene inspections in Carisbrooke 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Carisbrooke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
