Kitchen duct cleaning in Newbridge
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans, and people most often call us about grease drips onto cooking equipment and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Newbridge, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Newbridge: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Newbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we are called out for in Newbridge
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Newbridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Newbridge
Can a school canteen extract in Newbridge be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Newbridge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Newbridge?
It can, as Newbridge is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What staff can safely do
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What else we do in Newbridge
Newbridge kitchens: local notes
Newbridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newbridge. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Newbridge is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 5.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Michael the Archangel, or anywhere in Newbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
