Beeston · 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 Beeston, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Beeston
Beeston 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.
Right across Beeston, from High Road through Chilwell Road to Stapleford, cooklines share tight roof space and vent through concealed ducting few operators ever see inside. We clean that entire path to the TR19 Grease standard, canopy through to fan, taking in the level pulls and the risers where grease settles thickest and a fire would run.
It is not only kitchens: we also clean the dry supply and extract ductwork in Beeston offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-packed laundry runs behind its hotel and care-home dryers. The busiest kitchens - the University of Nottingham, the Queen's Medical Centre, the Boots campus and the town hotels - coat their hidden ducting in grease quickest, and that is the very path a fire follows.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Beeston 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 Road and Stapleford, 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 Beeston 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 Beeston hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Beeston
We are in Beeston's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A university hall-of-residence kitchen in Beeston had a greasy build along the horizontal extract and up the roof riser above a high-volume servery. 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 hygiene standard. It was worked through a vacation period with the halls empty.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Beeston kitchen these are the tells.
A canopy dripping onto a High Road cookline, cooking smells forced back to the tables, extraction that no longer clears the steam, grease showing at the filter edges, or a Beeston insurer or fire risk assessor wanting a TR19 certificate you have not got. How often it needs doing follows how hard you cook - a fast-frying Chilwell Road kitchen far more than a daytime cafe - and the certificate names the interval, so the next visit is booked, not guessed.
How it runs
Inspect the full Beeston 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 Stapleford 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 Beeston fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Beeston 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 Beeston 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 Road 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. Your Beeston insurer expects a current TR19 Grease certificate as proof the duct is clean. Without one, a fire claim can be cut back or turned down altogether - a costly thing to find only after a fire.
Hygiene and environmental health. When Broxtowe Borough Council carries out a food hygiene inspection it judges the physical state of the premises, and ventilation is part of that. A grease-choked extract can pull down the rating an Environmental Health Officer gives, on top of the odour and the weakening airflow your staff put up with.
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 Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Chilwell Road cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. The fan at the top of a Stapleford 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.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Beeston offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Nottinghamshire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Beeston run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Chilwell Road cookline is back in service for the next shift.
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 Road and Stapleford where the runs are long and awkward.
A dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs of each section, and an access report for your fire logbook - the evidence a High Road operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Yes - from High Road and Chilwell Road kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Beeston and the wider Nottinghamshire.
