Kitchen extract cleaning in Yarbridge
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and missing paperwork after a change of operator, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. Most calls from Yarbridge come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Yarbridge, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Yarbridge.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s simpler to plan the work at Yarbridge now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Grease, kitchens and Yarbridge
Yarbridge is within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways across Yarbridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. In Yarbridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 3.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Yarbridge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
