Kitchen extract cleaning across PO33: what to expect
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease.
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.

Around Ryde
In Ryde, that means kitchens and buildings near Dover Park Primary School, Ryde School with Upper Chine and The Falcon pub. Also close by are Ryde Academy (0.5 miles west) and All Saints' Church (under half a mile north-west). Ryde has its own railway station: Ryde St Johns Road station. Well-known places in the area include Gosport War Memorial Hospital (4.8 miles north) and Sandown Castle (4.7 miles south). The countryside around Ryde includes Brading Down and Alan Hersey Nature Reserve.
Where we work in PO33
In PO33, we work in places such as Ryde, Oakfield and Elmfield and well beyond. Every place on our PO33 list (17 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across England, including PO33, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Coastal kitchens in PO33 often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Ryde: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Ryde, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ryde, about 4.8 miles north.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
What happens if it’s left?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
FAQs for PO33
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.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Is PO33 in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in PO33, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
