Kitchen duct cleaning in Shide
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. 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 extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Shide? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Most kitchens in Shide fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a smaller place like Shide, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Shide kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 18 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs in Shide and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Shide sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Shide. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1 mile west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Shide is St Mary's Hospital, about 1.3 miles north.
Shide is about 1 mile south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Whatever kind of site you run in Shide, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Shide is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Portsmouth, about 12 miles away.
Kitchen extract cleaning in PO30 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. We cover sites on Pan Lane, Ash Road and Dairy Lane and the roads around them. Shide is on the A3020, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. If your site is just outside Shide, we cover Newport (1 mile north-west), Blackwater (1 mile south), Downend (2 miles east), Merstone (3 miles south-east) and Rookley (3 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Ryde (6 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (6 miles south-east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (4 miles north). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so let us know when you get in touch.
Near you in Shide
In Shide, that means kitchens and buildings near Christ The King College, The Cranbourne Arms Public House and Island Innovation VI Form Campus, among other places. A little further out are St Mary's Hospital (1.3 miles north) and Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile west). The countryside around Shide includes Mill Hill and Briddlesford Nature Reserve.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in Shide
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Shide, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Look out for any of the following:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Where a hall near Church of St. John the Baptist, or anywhere in Shide, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What hours they’ll be on site
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Shide questions
Do you work at weekends in Shide?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Shide does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school canteen extract in Shide be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 18 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Shide. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in Shide?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Shide.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Your opening hours decide when we come to Shide, not ours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What affects the quote in Shide
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
