Aldershot · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Aldershot restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Aldershot
Aldershot fries across the garrison town - the Union Street and Victoria Road cooklines cook from open to close, and the Grosvenor Road and High Street kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Wellington Street, High Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Aldershot rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
The kit the Wellington Street and High Street cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Aldershot fan is not working against 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 Wellington Street 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 High Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Aldershot 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 Aldershot's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Aldershot 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 Wellington Street 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 Wellington Street 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 High Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Aldershot
We are under Aldershot's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Wellington Centre food unit in Aldershot had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the mall. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Aldershot service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Wellington Street cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the High Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 Wellington Street or High Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Wellington Street, High Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Hampshire.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Aldershot has campus catering at the local college, mess catering across the garrison, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Wellington Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Wellington Centre cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Wellington Street and High 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. The takeaways and grill houses around High Street and Union 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.
