Bedworth · 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 Bedworth, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Bedworth
Bedworth 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 High Street to Congreve Walk and Collycroft, 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.
Beyond the kitchens, we clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in hotels and care homes. High-output kitchens - pub and hotel kitchens, town-centre takeaways and the busy canteens that feed the industrial estates - lay grease down fast in exactly the concealed sections where a fire travels.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Bedworth insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
Grease is measured by thickness, and the standard sets the depth at which a system must be cleaned and re-tested. Around High Street and Collycroft, where the concealed runs thread through mixed roof voids, a canopy-and-filter wipe leaves the ductwork itself - the long hidden sections where grease accumulates and a fire travels - untouched. We access the full Bedworth run through existing and newly fitted inspection hatches, clean to bare metal, record before-and-after grease-depth readings at set points, and issue a TR19 Grease certificate with a post-clean depth record.
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 Bedworth hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Bedworth
We are in Bedworth's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A small GP surgery in Bedworth had its branch supply ducts thick with dust and debris behind the grilles, throwing a dusty smell across the main floor whenever the system ran. We cleaned the ducting with air whips under negative pressure and renewed the supply filters. The work areas felt fresher and the stale, dusty smell had gone, finished with a tidy hand-over. We flagged a worn part to the receptionist for their maintenance records.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Bedworth kitchen these are the tells.
Smells pushing back into the dining room, a canopy that drips onto a High Street cookline, extraction that no longer clears the steam, visible grease at the filter edges, or a Bedworth insurer or fire risk assessment asking for a TR19 certificate you cannot produce. Cleaning frequency tracks use - a hard-frying Congreve Walk 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 Bedworth 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 Collycroft conversions - and protect the kitchen.
Canopy to roof fan, down to bare metal, with before-and-after grease-depth evidence.
TR19 Grease certificate, grease-depth record and next-due date for your Bedworth fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Bedworth 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 a Bedworth 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 High 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 a Bedworth 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. Nuneaton and Bedworth 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 High Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Congreve Walk cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
The full run, canopy through the concealed horizontal and vertical ductwork to the roof fan - the hidden sections a canopy-only clean leaves loaded, which matters in the tight stock around High Street and Collycroft where the runs are long and awkward.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Bedworth run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Congreve Walk cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the High Street and Congreve Walk kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from High Street and Congreve Walk kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Bedworth and the wider Warwickshire.
A dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs of each section, and an access report for your fire logbook - the evidence a High Street operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Bedworth offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Warwickshire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Local knowledge
French Huguenot weavers brought silk-ribbon making to Bedworth in the eighteenth century, and for nearly a hundred years the town's looms clattered until cheap French imports wiped the trade out in the 1860s; felt hat-making then carried the town through to the 1950s. Air once thick with silk fibre and hat felt is now hidden inside sealed ductwork instead, where grease and debris build unseen until airflow fails or fire finds a path. We clean and inspect ventilation and extract ductwork across the town, then hand over photographic before-and-after evidence of every run.
