Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cross Lane
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Cross Lane give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Cross Lane, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Kitchens around a place like Cross Lane are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why act early in Cross Lane
An overdue clean in Cross Lane is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A site near Cross Lane that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- A written report with photos after every visit
- We diagnose before we treat
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Tell us when your site near Cross Lane is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cross Lane
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1.7 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
