Evesham · 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 Evesham, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Evesham
Evesham 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 - Bridge Street, High Street, Merstow Green - 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 - the local college, the Evesham Community Hospital, the Riverside Shopping Centre and the town hotels - lay grease down fast in exactly the concealed sections where a fire travels.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Evesham insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
The standard is written in film thickness: once grease reaches a set depth the run has to be cleaned and proven again. In the crowded roof voids off Bridge Street and Merstow Green, a wipe of the canopy and filters never reaches the ductwork behind them, where the grease that carries fire quietly gathers. We work the whole Evesham run through hatches already in place and others we cut, bring it back to bright metal, note grease depths at fixed stations before and after, and certify to TR19 Grease with the closing figures logged.
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 Evesham hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Evesham
We are in Evesham's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A Bridge Street restaurant in Evesham 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 town-centre trade lost no covers.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Evesham kitchen these are the tells.
A canopy dripping onto a Bridge Street cookline, cooking smells forced back to the tables, extraction that no longer clears the steam, grease showing at the filter edges, or an Evesham 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 High 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 Evesham 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 Merstow Green 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 Evesham fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Evesham 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 Evesham 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 Bridge 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 Evesham 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. When Wychavon District 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 Bridge Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime High Street cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Evesham offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Worcestershire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Yes. The fan at the top of a Merstow Green 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.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Evesham run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a High Street cookline is back in service for the next shift.
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 Merstow Green conversions where the run was boxed in with no hatches.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Bridge Street and High Street kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from Bridge Street and High Street kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Evesham and the wider Worcestershire.
