Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Thorncross
Do you cover smaller places like Thorncross?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Thorncross is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Thorncross?
The local authority for Thorncross is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thorncross
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Thorncross, typically within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer. Kitchens in Thorncross book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Thorncross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Thorncross, let us know and we will plan around it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Thorncross
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common problems we fix in Thorncross
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Thorncross, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Look out for any of the following:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Where a hall near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Thorncross, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Thorncross
Thorncross is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Thorncross is covered by 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. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thorncross. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
