Ayr · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Ayr restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Ayr
Ayr fries hard along Newmarket Street, Prestwick Road and New Road, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Prestwick Road to New Road and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Ayr rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
The kit the Prestwick Road and New Road 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 Ayr 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 Prestwick Road 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 New Road 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 Ayr 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 Ayr's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Ayr 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 Prestwick Road 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 Prestwick Road 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 New Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Ayr
We are under Ayr's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A busy retail-park restaurant in Ayr had grease and carbon across the canopy, filters and plenum above the range. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the filters and extract duct back and degreased the accessible run to the fan. The grease came away to TR19 and the kitchen cleared smoke quickly again, with a full photo report and certificate for the file, the work spread across two evenings after closing to keep disruption down.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Ayr service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Prestwick Road 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 New Road 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 Prestwick Road or New Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Prestwick Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Prestwick Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 New Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around New Road and Sandgate 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a High Street cookline can count against your result.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Prestwick Road and New Road are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Local knowledge
In the early nineteenth century a Mrs Jamieson of Ayr copied the fine white needlework of a French christening gown and taught it across the county, and Ayrshire whitework grew into a cottage industry that at its height set thousands of 'flowerers' stitching for the town's cotton agents. Ayr's trade turns on food now more than fine needlework, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
