Kitchen extract cleaning in Norton Green
Across Norton Green, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you are dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods onwards. When a restaurant in Norton Green asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Norton Green goes.
In a small place like Norton Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In a small place like Norton Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Norton Green?
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Where a hall near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Norton Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How VAT is shown on the quote
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on in Norton Green
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease, kitchens and Norton Green
Norton Green lies within about 1 mile 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 includes about 11 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels and guest houses across Norton Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Norton Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Norton Green is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles north. School kitchens, at schools like All Saints Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

More services for Norton Green
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Norton Green
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
