Common questions in Shorwell
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Shorwell?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Shorwell gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Which fire service covers Shorwell?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Shorwell
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, 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, vertical risers and discharge points, and people most often call us about a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Shorwell, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Shorwell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Shorwell
At about 2 miles from the coast, Shorwell is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Shorwell sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Shorwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Shorwell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Shorwell (Northcourt Manor is about 0.3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Shorwell is about 5 miles south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Shorwell and the rest of the Isle of Wight. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 17 miles away.
Work in PO30 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include Fine Lane, Orchards Way and Farriers Way, and we cover them all for kitchen extract cleaning. We also cover Thorncross (1 mile south-west), Little Atherfield (2 miles south), Moortown (2 miles west), Brighstone (2 miles west) and Chillerton (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Newport (5 miles north-east), Ryde (10 miles north-east), Cowes (8 miles north), Sandown (9 miles east), Shanklin (8 miles east) and Ventnor (7 miles south-east). For island and remote sites, the visit takes a little more planning, so mention it when you ask for a quote.
Around Shorwell
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Crown Inn and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Carisbrooke Castle (3.6 miles north-east) and Whitecroft Hospital (3.1 miles north-east). Not far away are Brighstone Down.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Shorwell
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shorwell, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Shorwell
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 3.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
