TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlee
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Fairlee. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Fairlee knowing what to expect.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlee
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across the Isle of Wight.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fairlee
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A fault that closes a site in a village like Fairlee affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What else we do in Fairlee
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Fairlee
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Fairlee, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Fairlee kitchens: local notes
Look up Fairlee on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 61 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fairlee. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Food hygiene inspections in Fairlee are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Fairlee. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1.9 miles south-west), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Medina College or anywhere near Fairlee, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Landmarks near Fairlee
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Seaclose Park, Bargeman's Rest pub and Island Innovation VI Form Campus. Nearby you’ll also find Carisbrooke Castle (1.9 miles south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles west). For a walk, there’s Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Fairlee
Will you come out to Fairlee?
Yes. Fairlee is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Fairlee?
That is Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fairlee. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
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 your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
