How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Westridge is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading

Kitchen duct cleaning in Westridge
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Kitchens in Westridge book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Westridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Westridge rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Common questions in Westridge
Can school kitchens in Westridge be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 10 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Westridge. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Westridge?
The local authority for Westridge is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Other services in Westridge
Kitchen extract cleaning around Westridge
Westridge 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. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and B&Bs across Westridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Westridge. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 5.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Smallbrook Junction station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

When to call us in Westridge
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Church or elsewhere in Westridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Westridge
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
