Bridport · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bridport restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bridport
Bridport fries hard - along West Street, King Street and down at West Bay - and all that hot oil has to go somewhere.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Barrack Street to Bucky Doo Square and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Bridport rates dozens of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Barrack Street and Bucky Doo Square 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 Bridport 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 Barrack 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 Bucky Doo Square service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Bridport 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 Bridport's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bridport 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 Barrack 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 Barrack 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 Bucky Doo Square system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bridport
We are under Bridport's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A tea room kitchen in Bridport had the plenum and filters caked in grease from steady service on the pizza oven. We soaked the filters, scraped the canopy, filters and plenum and washed the duct down to the fan, leaving the extract clean and fire-safe with noticeably stronger extraction. We left a certificate for their file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bridport service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Barrack 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 Bucky Doo Square takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Bridport 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 Barrack Street or Bucky Doo Square kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Bucky Doo Square and West 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. Most venues we clean around Barrack Street and Bucky Doo Square are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from Barrack Street, Bucky Doo Square and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Dorset.
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 Barrack Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Bridport has the busy West Bay and market-town kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over an East Street cookline can count against your score.
Local knowledge
West Bay's harbour, framed by the golden cliffs made famous as the backdrop to the TV drama Broadchurch, draws crowds who come for fish and chips straight off the boats. Long's, the seafront takeaways and the quayside cafes fry hard through every summer season. That volume of frying loads canopy filters and extract runs with grease fast. We strip and degrease the whole extraction path, from filter to fan, so airflow and fire safety hold up under the pressure.
