Bodmin · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bodmin restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bodmin
The town fries hard along Higher Bore Street, Bell Lane and Fore Street, where the chip ranges and takeaway kitchens run hot all week.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Higher Bore Street to Priory Road and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Bodmin rates dozens of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Higher Bore Street and Priory Road 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 Bodmin 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 Higher Bore 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 Priory Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Bodmin 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 Bodmin's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bodmin 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 Higher Bore 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 Higher Bore 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 Priory Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bodmin
We are under Bodmin's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A garden-centre café in Bodmin had grease and carbon built up across the canopy and the first bend of the duct above its fryers. We degreased the plenum and filters back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters, clearing the system to the TR19 Grease standard and restoring the draw. We flagged a worn part to the head chef for their maintenance records.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bodmin service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Higher Bore Street 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 Priory Road takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.
Inspect the Bodmin 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 Higher Bore Street or Priory Road 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 Higher Bore Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Fore Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Bodmin has the college refectory, hospital kitchen and works canteens we clean and certify - 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 Priory Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Priory Road and Mount Folly 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 Higher Bore Street, Priory Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Cornwall.
Local knowledge
The Beacon obelisk has stood over Bodmin since 1856, 144 feet of granite raised to Sir Walter Raleigh Gilbert on the hill above the town. Granite endures; kitchen grease does not forgive neglect the same way. Extraction is where a kitchen either passes or fails - the canopy, the grease filters and the fan that pulls warm laden air off the range. We degrease the full run and record airflow so the system clears smoke and vapour at the rate it was built for.
