TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Freshwater
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Freshwater? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Your opening hours decide when we come to Freshwater, not ours.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Freshwater
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Freshwater, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Freshwater, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a smaller place like Freshwater, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Freshwater
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, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What insurance they carry
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Freshwater can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. A site near Freshwater that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods

Freshwater questions
Do you work in villages like Freshwater?
Yes, Freshwater is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does coastal air change anything about kitchen extract cleaning in Freshwater?
It can. Freshwater is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Freshwater
At about 1 mile from the coast, Freshwater is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways in and around Freshwater, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Freshwater sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints' Church or anywhere around Freshwater, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Mottistone Manor, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Freshwater; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Around Freshwater

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
