How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Nettlecombe
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and rancid smells from grease in the duct. When a restaurant in Nettlecombe asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Nettlecombe: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Nettlecombe, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. It’s simpler to plan the work at Nettlecombe now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nettlecombe
In Nettlecombe, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nettlecombe (Rylstone Manor is about 4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Questions from Nettlecombe
Does being near the coast affect kitchen extract cleaning in Nettlecombe?
It can. Salt air reaches Nettlecombe, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Do you cover smaller places like Nettlecombe?
Yes. Nettlecombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Nettlecombe, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Nettlecombe: the local picture
Nettlecombe is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Fire safety in Nettlecombe falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nettlecombe. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church or anywhere around Nettlecombe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 4.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The White Horse Inn, among other places. The nearest railway station is Shanklin station, about 4.1 miles north-east of the centre.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
