Wembley · 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 Wembley, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Wembley
Wembley rates around 2,400 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 - Ealing Road, Olympic Way, Designer Outlet - 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 - Wembley Stadium, the OVO Arena, Northwick Park Hospital and the London Designer Outlet - lay grease down fast in exactly the concealed sections where a fire travels.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Wembley 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 Ealing Road and Designer Outlet, a canopy-and-filter wipe leaves the duct interior - where grease piles up and a fire runs - completely alone. We reach the whole Wembley 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 Wembley hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Wembley
We are in Wembley's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
An arena catering kitchen in Wembley had large amounts of sticky frying oil and heavy grease built up across several canopy plenums from the high-volume event catering. We set liquid-tight collection funnels, sprayed an industrial alkaline gel degreaser and hot-pressure-washed the vertical roof stack, roughly doubling the extraction and clearing the smoky vapour ahead of an event. It was done inside a tight window between concert setups.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Wembley kitchen these are the tells.
Smells pushing back into the dining room, a canopy that drips onto an Ealing Road cookline, extraction that no longer clears the steam, visible grease at the filter edges, or a Wembley insurer or fire risk assessment asking for a TR19 certificate you cannot produce. Cleaning frequency tracks use - a hard-frying Olympic Way 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 Wembley 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 Designer Outlet conversions - and protect the kitchen.
Canopy to roof fan, down to bare metal, with before-and-after grease-depth evidence.

Why it matters
Three duties push every Wembley 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 Wembley 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 Ealing 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 Wembley 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. A food hygiene visit from Brent Council weighs the physical state of the premises, ventilation counted within it. A grease-blocked extract can pull down the rating an Environmental Health Officer sets, quite apart from the stale smell and the tired airflow your staff work beneath all shift.
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 Ealing Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Olympic Way cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. The fan at the top of a Designer Outlet 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 - from Ealing Road and Olympic Way kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Wembley and the wider Greater London.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Wembley offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Greater London 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 Designer Outlet 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 an Ealing Road 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 Ealing Road and Designer Outlet where the runs are long and awkward.
