Bromley · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bromley restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bromley
Bromley fries across the borough - the High Street and East Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Beckenham and Orpington kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around West Wickham, High Street and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 2,400 food premises rated across Bromley, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease the part of the system the West Wickham and High Street 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 Bromley 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 West Wickham 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 High Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Bromley 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 Bromley's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bromley 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 West Wickham 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 West Wickham 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 High Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bromley
We are under Bromley's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A restaurant in Bromley had a severe buildup of organic waste in the ductwork, badly cutting its ability to clear smoke and fumes. We mechanically scraped the internal walls, followed with an enzymatic chemical wash and a final pressure rinse, restoring the extraction to the TR19 standard. We had to fabricate an access panel to reach the sealed section.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bromley service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard West Wickham 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 High Street takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Bromley 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 West Wickham or High Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from West Wickham, High Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater London.
Yes. Most venues we clean around West Wickham and High 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.
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 High Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
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 West Wickham kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Bromley has campus catering at the London South East Colleges Bromley campus, production kitchens at the Princess Royal University Hospital, and shopping-centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around High Street and East 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.
