Bicester · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bicester restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bicester
Bicester fries across the garden town - the Sheep Street and Pioneer Square cooklines cook from open to close, and the Market Square and Crown Walk kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along London Road, Causeway and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Bicester, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease the part of the system the London Road and Causeway 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 Bicester 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 London 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 Causeway 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 Bicester 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 Bicester's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bicester 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 London 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 London 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 Causeway system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bicester
We are under Bicester's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A designer-outlet dining unit in Bicester had grease loading the extract fan and letting cooking smells drift across the village. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The outlet's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bicester service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard London Road 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 Causeway takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Bicester canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 London Road or Causeway 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 London Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Causeway and Market Square 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 London Road and Causeway are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Sheep Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes - from London Road, Causeway and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Oxfordshire.
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 Causeway takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
