Basingstoke · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Basingstoke restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Basingstoke
Basingstoke fries across the town - the Wote Street and London Street cooklines, and the Festival Place and Chineham kitchens cook from open to close.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Wote Street to Brighton Hill and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Basingstoke rates around 1,240 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Wote Street and Brighton Hill cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean Basingstoke fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Wote Street 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 Brighton Hill 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 Basingstoke 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 Basingstoke's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Basingstoke 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 Wote 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 Wote 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 Brighton Hill system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Basingstoke
We are under Basingstoke's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A shopping-mall food court in Basingstoke had grease deposits building into obstructive dams at the duct junctions. We ran mechanical scrubbing with targeted high-pressure solvent rinsing to clear them, restoring the extraction to full commercial hygiene standard - with a full safety audit after the clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Basingstoke service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Wote Street 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 Brighton Hill takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets 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 Wote Street or Brighton Hill kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Wote Street 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 Wote Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Brighton Hill and Winchester 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 - from Wote Street, Brighton Hill and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Hampshire.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Basingstoke has canteens across the Houndmills estate, production kitchens at the Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, and shopping-centre and hotel kitchens - 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 Brighton Hill takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
