Bath · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bath restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bath
Bath fries across the city - the Milsom Street and George Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Walcot Street and SouthGate kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Bath Street, SouthGate and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the around 1,850 food premises rated in Bath, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease exactly what the Bath Street and SouthGate 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 Bath 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 Bath 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 SouthGate service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Bath 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 Bath's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bath 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 Bath 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 Bath 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 SouthGate system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bath
We are under Bath's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A large hotel kitchen in Bath had a severe buildup of organic waste in the ductwork, badly cutting its ability to clear smoke and fumes. We worked a heavy-duty industrial degreaser through to break the carbonised deposits down, followed by a full high-pressure steam clean back to bare metal, and re-checked the airflow - clearing the fire risk on a night shift.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bath service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Bath 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 SouthGate takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Bath 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 Bath Street or SouthGate kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 SouthGate 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 Bath Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Bath Street and SouthGate are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Bath Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Bath Street, SouthGate and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Somerset.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around SouthGate and George 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.
