Kitchen extract cleaning in Colwell
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and grease smells coming from the extract, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Colwell covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Colwell?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Colwell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What affects the quote in Colwell
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across the Isle of Wight. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Colwell
The coast is only about 1 mile from Colwell. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs in Colwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Colwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Colwell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Lymington New Forest Hospital (about 5.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Colwell
Will you come out to Colwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Colwell?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Colwell. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Colwell.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
