Kenilworth · 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 Kenilworth, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Kenilworth
Kenilworth 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 - Warwick Road, Talisman Square, Common Lane - 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.
Kitchens are only half the work - we also strip the dry supply and extract ductwork of Kenilworth schools, offices and civic buildings, and the lint-choked dryer runs behind its hotels and care homes. It is the hardest-pressed kitchens - hotel and pub kitchens, restaurant and takeaway kitchens, care-home caterers and the busy town-centre cafes - that glaze their hidden ducting quickest, and that coating is the road a fire takes.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Kenilworth insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
The standard works in grease-film thickness, fixing the depth at which a run must be cleaned and re-tested. In the shared roof voids around Warwick Road and Common Lane, wiping the canopy and filters leaves the ductwork - the long concealed sections that gather grease and carry fire - untouched. We open the full Kenilworth run through existing and newly cut inspection hatches, strip it to bare metal, log grease-depth readings at fixed points before and after, and issue a TR19 Grease certificate with the post-clean depths recorded.
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 Kenilworth hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Kenilworth
We are in Kenilworth's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A takeaway kitchen in Kenilworth had its grease extract duct lined with grease and carbon, cutting the pull over the canopy. I scraped and degreased the kitchen extract run until the steel was clean, and cleaned the range down while I had access. The duct came up clean and passed TR19, and I left a set of progress images and a certificate for their records. The proprietor kept me going with cups of tea through the morning.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Kenilworth kitchen these are the tells.
The tells are plain: steam that lingers, odours drifting back over the diners, drips off the canopy onto a Warwick Road line, a rim of grease at the filters, or a Kenilworth insurer or fire assessment wanting a TR19 certificate you cannot show. Frequency tracks the cooking load - a hard-frying Talisman Square 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 Kenilworth 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 Common Lane 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 Kenilworth fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Kenilworth 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 Kenilworth 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 Warwick 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. To a Kenilworth insurer a current TR19 Grease certificate is the proof the extract has been kept up. Let it lapse and a fire claim can be scaled back or declined outright - the kind of gap nobody wants to find with the kitchen already gutted.
Hygiene and environmental health. Food hygiene inspections by Warwick District 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 Warwick Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Talisman Square cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Warwick Road and Talisman Square kitchens, and around shift patterns at commercial and production sites, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from Warwick Road and Talisman Square kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Kenilworth and the wider Warwickshire.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Kenilworth offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Warwickshire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
A dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs of each section, and an access report for your fire logbook - the evidence a Warwick Road operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Kenilworth run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Talisman Square 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 Warwick Road and Common Lane where the runs are long and awkward.
Local knowledge
Before the villas and the commuters, Kenilworth lived on horn-comb making, tanning and brickmaking, the small trades that served the market and the farms around it. The railway arrived in the 1840s and drew affluent industrialists out from Coventry and Birmingham, and the town grew comfortably around them. Modern premises hide their dust and grease inside sealed ductwork instead, where debris 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.
