Beverley · 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 Beverley, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Beverley
Beverley 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.
The city's kitchens sit in tight, mixed stock - Saturday Market, Toll Gavel, Flemingate - with long concealed duct runs up to roof fans. We clean the full run to the TR19 Grease standard, canopy to fan, including the horizontal and vertical sections a canopy-only clean leaves coated.
It is not only kitchens: we also clean the dry supply and extract ductwork in Beverley offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-packed laundry runs behind its hotel and care-home dryers. The busiest kitchens - East Riding College, the East Riding Community Hospital, Beverley Racecourse 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 Beverley 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 Saturday Market and Flemingate, 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 Beverley 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 Beverley hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Beverley
We are in Beverley's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A Saturday Market restaurant in Beverley 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 a historic market building, so hoses were routed carefully to protect the fabric.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Beverley kitchen these are the tells.
The tells are plain: steam that lingers, odours drifting back over the diners, drips off the canopy onto a Saturday Market line, a rim of grease at the filters, or a Beverley insurer or fire assessment wanting a TR19 certificate you cannot show. Frequency tracks the cooking load - a hard-frying Toll Gavel kitchen needs it far more often than a quiet cafe - and your certificate sets the date, so nothing is left to chance.
How it runs
Inspect the full Beverley 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 Flemingate 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 Beverley fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Beverley 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 Beverley 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 Saturday Market 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 Beverley 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. When East Riding of Yorkshire 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 Saturday Market kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Toll Gavel cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Saturday Market and Toll Gavel kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
A dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs of each section, and an access report for your fire logbook - the evidence a Saturday Market operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Beverley run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Toll Gavel cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Beverley offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the East Riding of Yorkshire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Yes - from Saturday Market and Toll Gavel kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Beverley and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire.
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 Flemingate conversions where the run was boxed in with no hatches.
