How kitchen extract cleaning works in PO37
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, on plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work 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.

Around Shanklin
Around Shanklin, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Sandown Bay Academy, The Falcon pub and St. Paul's Church and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Shanklin itself: Shanklin station. Other landmarks nearby include Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (under half a mile north) and Rylstone Manor (under half a mile south). Open spaces near Shanklin include Alverstone Mead and St Boniface Down.
Kitchen extract cleaning around PO37
In PO37, we work in places such as Sandown, Shanklin and Lake and well beyond. Every place on our PO37 list (4 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Parts of PO37 are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. We look for corrosion as well as dirt on coastal sites.
Shanklin: Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Shanklin is Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about less than half a mile north. For schools such as St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Managing agents and facilities teams in PO37
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
PO37 questions
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
