Broadstairs · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Broadstairs restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Broadstairs
Broadstairs fries hard along Albion Street and Harbour Street, where the seafront chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every summer service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Harbour Street, Reading Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Broadstairs rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Harbour Street and Reading Street cooks labour under - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is exactly what we degrease. Cleaned right it draws as it was meant to, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate and running cooler, since a clean Broadstairs fan no longer battles a greased one to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Harbour Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Reading Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Broadstairs fire risk assessment and insurer have the record 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 Broadstairs's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Broadstairs 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 Harbour 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 Harbour 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 Reading Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Broadstairs
We are under Broadstairs's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A town-centre sandwich shop in Broadstairs had a heavy grease load across the canopy and fan housing from the frying range. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped them and the extract duct back, and degreased the accessible duct through to the fan. The extract was left clean and fire-safe, the extraction noticeably stronger, and a certificate was issued on completion. We fitted it into a quiet Monday to suit the owner.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Broadstairs service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Harbour Street cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Reading Street takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Broadstairs 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 Harbour Street or Reading Street 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 Harbour Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Harbour Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Broadstairs has the seafront, hotel and care-home 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 Albion Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes - from Harbour Street, Reading Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Kent.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Harbour Street and Reading Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Local knowledge
Morelli's opened its ice-cream parlour on the Broadstairs seafront in 1932, and five generations on the Morelli family still serve gelato from the same Art Deco room of pink leatherette booths and Formica tables above Viking Bay. The town lives on food and holiday trade now, and its busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place that grease feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard. The evidence pack proves the system is clean to its full length, not just at the hood.
