Questions from Dunsbury
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Dunsbury?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dunsbury. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you come to Dunsbury after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Dunsbury doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Dunsbury
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Dunsbury, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Dunsbury, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Most kitchens in Dunsbury fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Dunsbury, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Dunsbury is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- 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
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Dunsbury?
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 from there it travels on to the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Historic houses near Dunsbury, such as Mottistone Manor about 1.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Dunsbury: the local picture
Dunsbury lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Dunsbury is covered by 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 Dunsbury 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Dunsbury, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Dunsbury can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
