Weymouth · 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 Weymouth, and certify it to the TR19 Grease standard your insurer expects.
Weymouth
Weymouth 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 Weymouth work out of tight, mixed premises - St Mary Street, St Thomas Street, Maiden Street - 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.
Kitchens are only half the work - we also strip the dry supply and extract ductwork of Weymouth schools, offices and civic buildings, and the lint-choked dryer runs behind its hotels and care homes. It is the hardest-pressed kitchens - Weymouth College, the Weymouth Community Hospital, the harbourside quays and the resort hotels - that glaze their hidden ducting quickest, and that coating is the road a fire takes.
The standard
TR19 Grease is the benchmark Weymouth 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 St Mary Street and Maiden Street, 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 Weymouth 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 Weymouth hotels, care homes and gyms.
On the ground in Weymouth
We are in Weymouth's ductwork and plant every week. The proof is the jobs, not the stock photos.
A St Mary Street restaurant in Weymouth 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 resort trade lost no covers.
When it is due
Ductwork rarely warns you politely. In a busy Weymouth kitchen these are the tells.
Watch for steam that hangs in the room, cooking smells creeping back over the tables, a canopy weeping onto a St Mary Street line, grease crusting at the filter rims, or a Weymouth insurer or fire assessor calling for a TR19 certificate you do not hold. How often it needs doing rides on the cooking load - a hard-frying St Thomas Street kitchen far more than a quiet daytime cafe - and the certificate fixes that interval, so the next clean is planned, not chanced.
How it runs
Inspect the full Weymouth 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 Maiden Street 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 Weymouth fire logbook.
Why it matters
Three duties push every Weymouth 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 Weymouth 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 St Mary 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 Weymouth 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 Dorset 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 St Mary Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime St Thomas Street cafe. We measure the grease load and confirm your interval.
Yes. We clean the dry ductwork and air-handling in Weymouth offices, schools and public buildings, and the lint-heavy laundry ducts in the Dorset hotels and care homes, alongside kitchen grease ducts.
Yes. The fan at the top of a Maiden Street 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.
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 St Mary Street and Maiden Street where the runs are long and awkward.
Yes - from St Mary Street and St Thomas Street kitchens to the offices, schools and industrial units across Weymouth and the wider Dorset.
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 Maiden Street 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 St Mary Street operator's insurer and fire risk assessor expect.
