About our kitchen extract cleaning in Steephill
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. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Steephill start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Somewhere as small as Steephill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Steephill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Steephill
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
What we are most often called out for:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
For schools such as St Francis Catholic and Church of England Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Steephill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Steephill kitchens: local notes
Steephill 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. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Steephill. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Steephill are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 3.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Alban-the-martyr or elsewhere in Steephill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
