Stourport-on-Severn · 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 Stourport-on-Severn, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Stourport-on-Severn
Stourport-on-Severn 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.
Right across Stourport-on-Severn, from Lichfield Street through Mitton Street to Areley Kings, cooklines share tight roof space and vent through concealed ducting few operators ever see inside. We clean that entire path to the TR19 Grease standard, canopy through to fan, taking in the level pulls and the risers where grease settles thickest and a fire would run.
Kitchens are only half the work - we also strip the dry supply and extract ductwork of Stourport-on-Severn schools, offices and civic buildings, and the lint-choked dryer runs behind its hotels and care homes. It is the hardest-pressed kitchens - riverside pub kitchens, hotel kitchens, school and care-home caterers 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 Stourport-on-Severn insurers and fire risk assessors expect - measured across the whole extract run, not just the visible mouth of the canopy.
Because the standard is written around film thickness, it sets the depth that triggers a clean and re-test. In the mixed roof spaces around Lichfield Street and Areley Kings, a canopy-and-filter wipe leaves the duct interior - where grease piles up and a fire runs - completely alone. We reach the whole Stourport-on-Severn run through existing hatches and new ones we cut, clean back to bright metal, take before-and-after grease-depth figures at set points, and certify it to TR19 Grease with those depths on the 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 Stourport-on-Severn hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Stourport-on-Severn
We are in Stourport-on-Severn's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A busy Stourport-on-Severn bakery was losing pull over its hot plates because the oven extract ducting had silted up with grease and carbon. We opened up the run with new inspection hatches, scraped the carbon away by hand and degreased every accessible section down to the fan. The result met TR19 and we documented the whole run for the chef to keep. He walked away with a short photographic record for the H and S folder.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Stourport-on-Severn kitchen these are the tells.
A canopy dripping onto a Lichfield Street cookline, cooking smells forced back to the tables, extraction that no longer clears the steam, grease showing at the filter edges, or a Stourport-on-Severn 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 Mitton 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 Stourport-on-Severn 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 Areley Kings conversions - and protect the kitchen.

Why it matters
Three duties push every Stourport-on-Severn 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 Stourport-on-Severn 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 Lichfield 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. To a Stourport-on-Severn 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. Wyre Forest District 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 Lichfield Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Mitton Street cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Stourport-on-Severn offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Worcestershire hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closing days for the Lichfield Street and Mitton Street 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 Lichfield Street operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Little, if it is planned. We survey the Stourport-on-Severn run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Mitton Street cookline is back in service for the next shift.
Yes - from Lichfield Street and Mitton Street kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Stourport-on-Severn and the wider Worcestershire.
Yes. The fan at the top of an Areley Kings 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.
Local knowledge
Stourport's fortunes were tied to the carpet and textile trade of neighbouring Kidderminster and to works like the Wilden iron forge a mile off, once run by the family of three-times Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, where the air hung thick with dust and smoke. Modern premises hide their dust inside sealed ductwork instead, 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, then hand over photographic before-and-after evidence of every run.
