Bridgwater · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bridgwater restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bridgwater
Bridgwater fries across the carnival town - the Fore Street and Cornhill cooklines cook from open to close, and the Eastover and High Street kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From St Mary Street to Penel Orlieu and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Bridgwater rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the St Mary Street and Penel Orlieu 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 Bridgwater 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 St Mary Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean the baffle filters or swap them where needed, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the piece that quietly sheds performance as grease weighs down the blades over a hard Penel Orlieu service. It is cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as it should and your Bridgwater fire risk assessment and insurer get the record they want.
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 Bridgwater's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bridgwater 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 St Mary 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 St Mary 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 Penel Orlieu system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bridgwater
We are under Bridgwater's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
An Angel Place centre food unit in Bridgwater had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the centre. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bridgwater service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard St Mary 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 Penel Orlieu takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Bridgwater 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 St Mary Street or Penel Orlieu kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from St Mary Street, Penel Orlieu and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Somerset.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Bridgwater has campus catering at Bridgwater and Taunton College, catering at Bridgwater Community Hospital, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a St Mary Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Penel Orlieu takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around St Mary Street and Penel Orlieu are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
