Aberdeen · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Aberdeen restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Aberdeen
Aberdeen fries across the city - the Union Street and George Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Rosemount and Holburn Street kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Rosemount to Holburn Street and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Aberdeen rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the Rosemount and Holburn Street cooks labour under - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is exactly what we degrease. Cleaned right it draws as it was meant to, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate and running cooler, since a clean Aberdeen fan no longer battles a greased one to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Rosemount cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Holburn Street service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Aberdeen fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Aberdeen's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Aberdeen cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy Rosemount line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on a Rosemount line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a Holburn Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Aberdeen
We are under Aberdeen's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A hospital catering extract system in Aberdeen had thick grease through the canopy, filters and plenum, cutting the pull over the range. We removed the filters for a soak, hand-scraped the canopy and first bend of the duct and degreased through to the extract fan. The grease was cleared to the TR19 Grease standard with airflow over the range restored, and we handed over photos, a report and a certificate.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Aberdeen service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Rosemount cookline faster, so the kitchen sits cooler and the fan draws less to shift the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem all at once. How often it is needed follows how hard you cook - the Holburn Street takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy Rosemount or Holburn Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Holburn Street and Belmont Street run a canopy, filters and a fan and often carry a heavy grease load for their size. We clean and certify them the same way as a full restaurant system.
Extraction cleaning covers the canopy, filters and fan; where the concealed duct run behind them is also loaded - as it often is in a tight Rosemount kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Rosemount and Holburn Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from Rosemount, Holburn Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Aberdeen.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Rosemount operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Aberdeen has the city-centre and harbour kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Local knowledge
North Sea oil began coming ashore in the early 1970s and turned Aberdeen into the energy capital of Europe, drawing more than 200 companies and thousands of workers to the granite city within a decade. That workforce eats hard, and the fryers, grills and ranges feeding it drive grease-laden vapour up into canopy and duct. Left there it hardens into fuel; extracted, degreased and certified, it keeps both the insurer and the fire risk satisfied.
