About kitchen extract cleaning in PO32
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, 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. Typical jobs include proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease smells coming from the extract, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Other landmarks nearby include Sir Max Aitken Museum (1 mile north-west) and East Cowes Castle (0.9 miles north). For a walk, there’s Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.
Kitchen extract cleaning around PO32
Across PO32, from East Cowes and Whippingham outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Along the coast in PO32, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so it pays to book work around the busy season.
East Cowes: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 3.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Isle of Wight Studio School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Common problems we fix in PO32
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
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.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
PO32: your questions answered
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Is PO32 in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes PO32.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
