West Bridgford · 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 West Bridgford, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
West Bridgford
West Bridgford 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.
Kitchens across West Bridgford work out of tight, mixed premises - Central Avenue, Bridgford Road, Trent Bridge - their extract snaking through concealed voids to roof-mounted fans. We take the whole run to the TR19 Grease standard, hood to fan, reaching the horizontal legs and vertical risers a canopy wipe never touches.
It is not only kitchens: we also clean the dry supply and extract ductwork in West Bridgford offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-packed laundry runs behind its hotel and care-home dryers. The busiest kitchens - the University of Nottingham nearby, Trent Bridge, the City Ground and the town hotels - coat their hidden ducting in grease quickest, and that is the very path a fire follows.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark West Bridgford 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 Central Avenue and Trent Bridge, 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 West Bridgford 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 West Bridgford hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in West Bridgford
We are in West Bridgford's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A Central Avenue restaurant in West Bridgford 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 busy dining avenue lost no covers.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy West Bridgford kitchen these are the tells.
The tells are plain: steam that lingers, odours drifting back over the diners, drips off the canopy onto a Central Avenue line, a rim of grease at the filters, or a West Bridgford insurer or fire assessment wanting a TR19 certificate you cannot show. Frequency tracks the cooking load - a hard-frying Bridgford Road 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 West Bridgford 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 Trent Bridge 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 West Bridgford fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every West Bridgford 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 West Bridgford 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 Central Avenue 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 West Bridgford 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 Rushcliffe Borough 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 Central Avenue kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime Bridgford Road cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. The fan at the top of a Trent Bridge 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 West Bridgford run first, agree a slot overnight or on a close day, sheet off the kitchen and clean section by section, so a Bridgford Road 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 Central Avenue and Trent Bridge where the runs are long and awkward.
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 Trent Bridge 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 a Central Avenue operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
Yes - from Central Avenue and Bridgford Road kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across West Bridgford and the wider Nottinghamshire.
