Abergavenny · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Abergavenny restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Abergavenny
The town fries hard along Cross Street, Nevill Street and Frogmore Street, and all that hot oil has to go somewhere.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Cibi Walk to Lower Monk Street and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Abergavenny rates dozens of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Cibi Walk and Lower Monk Street cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Abergavenny fan is not fighting a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Cibi Walk cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Lower Monk Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Abergavenny fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork they ask for.
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 Abergavenny's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Abergavenny 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 Cibi Walk 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 Cibi Walk 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 Lower Monk Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Abergavenny
We are under Abergavenny's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A deli kitchen in Abergavenny had the canopy and fan housing carrying a heavy grease load from the chargrill. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and first bend of the duct back and degreased the accessible duct to the fan, leaving the extract clean and fire-safe with the kitchen clearing smoke quickly again. We left certification for their file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Abergavenny service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Cibi Walk cookline faster, so the kitchen runs cooler and the fan draws less to move the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the Lower Monk Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Abergavenny canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
Remove filters and access panels, protect the cookline.

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 Cibi Walk or Lower Monk Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Lower Monk Street and High 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.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Cibi Walk and Lower Monk 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. Beyond restaurants, Abergavenny has the pub, restaurant and takeaway kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Lower Monk Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
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 Cibi Walk kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Cibi Walk operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Local knowledge
Abergavenny sits ringed by the Sugar Loaf, the Blorenge and the Skirrid, three hills that draw walkers off the trails and straight into the town's cafes and chip shops. Kitchens that fry hard all day throw grease-laden vapour into their canopies and ducts, and it does not stay put. We strip filters, canopies and extraction fans back to metal, clear the grease that feeds fires and certify the work to TR19 Grease for insurers.
