Kitchen extract cleaning in Moortown, done properly
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Moortown, typically within one working day. Common call-outs are for an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on horizontal duct runs, discharge points and vertical risers. Kitchens in Moortown book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Moortown goes.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Moortown, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Moortown
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Moortown is Whitecroft Hospital, about 4.5 miles east.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Moortown questions
Can the work in Moortown be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Moortown keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire service covers Moortown?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Kitchen extracts in Moortown
At about 2 miles from the coast, Moortown is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moortown, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Moortown is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 1.3 miles west), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near Moortown, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Moortown is about 6 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Moortown, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Portsmouth page covers sites nearby (18 miles or so).
We cover every part of the PO30 postcode area for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby. Whether your site is on Main Road, Moor Lane and Upper Lane or anywhere close by, we can help. If your site is just outside Moortown, we cover Brighstone (1 mile south), Thorncross (1 mile south-east), Shorwell (2 miles east), Little Atherfield (3 miles south-east) and Atherfield Green (3 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (6 miles north-east), Ryde (12 miles north-east), Cowes (9 miles north-east), Sandown (10 miles east), Shanklin (10 miles east) and Ventnor (9 miles south-east). For island and remote sites, a little more planning is needed, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Landmarks near Moortown
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Three Bishops pub. Other landmarks nearby include Brighstone Village Museum (under half a mile south) and Whitecroft Hospital (4.5 miles east). Not far away are Brighstone Down.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
What else we do in Moortown
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
