Goole · 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 Goole, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Goole
Goole 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 Aire Street to Carlisle Street and Old Goole, 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.
Kitchens are only half the work - we also strip the dry supply and extract ductwork of Goole schools, offices and civic buildings, and the lint-choked dryer runs behind its hotels and care homes. It is the hardest-pressed kitchens - hospital kitchens, dockside and depot canteens, pub and hotel kitchens and the busy town-centre takeaways - that glaze their hidden ducting quickest, and that coating is the road a fire takes.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Goole 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 Aire Street and Old Goole, 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 Goole 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 Goole hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Goole
We are in Goole's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
At a privately owned launderette in Goole, damp matted fluff had gathered at the low point of the tumble-dryer exhaust run, leaving the room warm and humid. I opened up and vacuumed the exhaust line end to end, cleared the roof discharge and checked the airflow was moving as it should. The line drew properly again, the roof outlet sat fully open, and the place was left spotless. The owner kept us going with fresh coffee all morning.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Goole kitchen these are the tells.
Smells pushing back into the dining room, a canopy that drips onto an Aire Street cookline, extraction that no longer clears the steam, visible grease at the filter edges, or a Goole insurer or fire risk assessment asking for a TR19 certificate you cannot produce. Cleaning frequency tracks use - a hard-frying Carlisle Street 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 Goole 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 Goole 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 Goole fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Goole 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 Goole 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 an Aire 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 Goole 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. Food hygiene inspections by East Riding of Yorkshire Council take in the condition of the building, ventilation included, so a grease-laden system can cost you on the rating an Environmental Health Officer awards - never mind the smell and the dropping extraction your kitchen team works under.
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 Aire Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Carlisle Street cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
A dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs of each section, and an access report for your fire logbook - the evidence an Aire Street operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
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 Aire Street and Old Goole where the runs are long and awkward.
Yes. The fan at the top of an Old Goole 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 Goole 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.
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 Goole conversions where the run was boxed in with no hatches.
Yes - from Aire Street and Carlisle Street kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Goole and the wider East Riding of Yorkshire.
Local knowledge
Goole built ships on the Old Goole side of the Dutch River into the 1980s, and during the war its yards fabricated sections of the Mulberry Harbour that were floated across to the D-Day beaches. Where that work once threw its dust into open sheds, modern premises hide theirs inside sealed ductwork, 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, from Aire Street to Carlisle Street and out to Old Goole. Then we hand over photographic before-and-after evidence of every run.
