Arnold · TR19 Grease
We clean the full commercial duct run - grease, dry and laundry ductwork, canopy to roof fan - for kitchens, offices and industrial sites across Arnold, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Arnold
Arnold rates hundreds of food premises, and behind a large share sits an extract duct a canopy clean never reaches - plus the dry ductwork and air-handling that keep its offices and public buildings running.
From Front Street to Eagle Centre and Redhill, the town's cooklines vent through long hidden ducting that climbs to a roof fan. We clean it end to end to the TR19 Grease standard - not just the canopy, but the flat and rising sections where grease really collects.
Kitchens are only half the work - we also strip the dry supply and extract ductwork of Arnold schools, offices and civic buildings, and the lint-choked dryer runs behind its hotels and care homes. It is the hardest-pressed kitchens - the local college, the Queen's Medical Centre nearby, the Eagle Centre and the town hotels - that glaze their hidden ducting quickest, and that coating is the road a fire takes.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Arnold insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
The standard works in grease-film thickness, fixing the depth at which a run must be cleaned and re-tested. In the shared roof voids around Front Street and Redhill, wiping the canopy and filters leaves the ductwork - the long concealed sections that gather grease and carry fire - untouched. We open the full Arnold run through existing and newly cut inspection hatches, strip it to bare metal, log grease-depth readings at fixed points before and after, and issue a TR19 Grease certificate with the post-clean depths recorded.
By system
The fire risk. Fried-food extract coats duct walls in combustible grease; cleaned canopy to fan and certified to TR19 Grease.
Supply and general extract in offices and public buildings, carrying dust and debris that throttles airflow and loads the air-handling unit; cleaned to TR19.
The hidden one. Tumble-dryer ducting packs with lint - highly combustible - in Arnold hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Arnold
We are in Arnold's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A Front Street restaurant in Arnold had a heavy grease film through the horizontal extract and up the riser above a busy cook line. We fitted new access panels, hand-scraped the accessible lengths and ran an enzyme degreaser through the sealed sections, returning the ductwork to clean metal for the fire and insurance standard. It was worked overnight so the high-street trade lost no covers.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Arnold kitchen these are the tells.
Smells pushing back into the dining room, a canopy that drips onto a Front Street cookline, extraction that no longer clears the steam, visible grease at the filter edges, or an Arnold insurer or fire risk assessment asking for a TR19 certificate you cannot produce. Cleaning frequency tracks use - a hard-frying Eagle Centre kitchen needs it far more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate states the interval, so the next clean is never a guess.
How it runs
Inspect the full Arnold run, find the access gaps in the concealed sections, agree scope and frequency.
Fit inspection hatches where the run is sealed - common in the older Redhill conversions - and protect the kitchen.

Why it matters
Three duties push every Arnold operator to keep ductwork clean, and they reinforce one another.
Fire safety law. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person for an Arnold premises must assess and manage fire risk. A grease-laden duct is one of the most serious risks in any catering building, because a flare-up on a Front Street cookline can travel the ductwork and spread fire through concealed voids. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the HSE reinforce the same duty of care.
Insurance. A live TR19 Grease certificate is what an Arnold insurer treats as evidence the system is maintained. Miss it and a fire claim may be reduced or refused - an expensive surprise once the damage is done.
Hygiene and environmental health. Gedling Borough Council food hygiene inspections assess the physical condition of premises, ventilation included. A grease-clogged system can count against the rating an Environmental Health Officer awards, quite apart from the smell and the falling extract performance your staff have to work in.
It is set by cooking hours under TR19 Grease - roughly every three months for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day, every six for moderate, every twelve for light. A hard-frying Front Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Eagle Centre cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. The fan at the top of a Redhill or city-centre riser is where grease throws off the blades and the run ends - we degrease it and its housing, because a loaded fan is what finally stops a system pulling.
We fit compliant access panels where the ductwork has none, so every internal section can be reached, cleaned, inspected and certified - common in the older Redhill conversions where the run was boxed in with no hatches.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Front Street and Eagle Centre kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Arnold run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so an Eagle Centre cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes - from Front Street and Eagle Centre kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Arnold and the wider Nottinghamshire.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Arnold offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Nottinghamshire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
