TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wellow
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 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in Wellow, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Wellow, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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 Wellow goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wellow
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Wellow questions
Is kitchen extract cleaning any different in a coastal place like Wellow?
It can. Wellow is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which environmental health team covers Wellow?
Kitchens in Wellow are inspected by Isle of Wight council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Is Wellow in your area?
Yes. We work in Wellow and the rest of the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
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 any work starts.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that is where we come in.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a small place like Wellow, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Kitchen extract cleaning in Wellow: the local picture
Wellow lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Wellow. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Fire safety in Wellow falls to 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Wellow Baptist Church or elsewhere in Wellow, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 2.8 miles south), access may need planning.
