Kitchen extract cleaning around Rookley Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Rookley Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Rookley Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Rookley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rookley Green is Whitecroft Hospital, about 1.8 miles north-west.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Rookley Green
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Rookley Green it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Rookley Green goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Rookley Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Rookley 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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Sheat Manor is about 1.1 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in Rookley Green is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Photo reports with every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- In business since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Rookley Green
Do you work in villages like Rookley Green?
Yes, Rookley Green is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Rookley Green?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Rookley Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
