Camberley · 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 Camberley, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Camberley
Camberley 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 - High Street, Park Street, Old Dean - 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.
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 - hospital kitchens, military mess halls, hotel and pub kitchens and the busy town-centre takeaways - lay grease down fast in exactly the concealed sections where a fire travels.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Camberley 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 Old Dean, 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 Camberley 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 Camberley hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Camberley
We are in Camberley's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
An established guest house in Camberley had a season's worth of dryer fluff built through its flexible ducting, leaving the room warm and humid. We stripped and vacuumed the full tumble-dryer exhaust run, cleared the discharge louvre and checked the airflow. The fire risk was gone and the utility room felt cooler and drier straight away, with everything back to normal by opening. The manager kept a steady supply of brews going through the morning.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Camberley kitchen these are the tells.
A canopy dripping onto a High Street cookline, cooking smells forced back to the tables, extraction that no longer clears the steam, grease showing at the filter edges, or a Camberley 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 Park Street 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 Camberley 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 Old Dean 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 Camberley fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Camberley 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 Camberley 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 current TR19 Grease certificate is the evidence your Camberley insurer expects. Without it, a fire claim can be reduced or refused outright - an expensive gap to find after the event.
Hygiene and environmental health. Surrey Heath 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 Park Street cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the High Street and Park Street kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from High Street and Park Street kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Camberley and the wider Surrey.
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 Old Dean conversions where the run was boxed in with no hatches.
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.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Camberley run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Park Street cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Camberley offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Surrey hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Local knowledge
The Doman Road estate now carries some of the county's busiest food production, from the Bridor unit importing and finishing French patisserie to the cluster that grew around Krispy Kreme's UK base at nearby Frimley. Plants like these move air by the thousand cubic metres a minute, and modern premises hide their dust and grease inside sealed ductwork instead of open mill air. Left alone it builds 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.
