Chippenham · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Chippenham restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Chippenham
Chippenham fries across the market town - the High Street and Market Place cooklines cook from open to close, and the New Road and St Mary Street kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Borough Parade to Market Place and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Chippenham rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the Borough Parade and Market Place 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 Chippenham 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 Borough Parade cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Market Place service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Chippenham fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
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 Chippenham's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Chippenham 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 Borough Parade 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 Borough Parade 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 Market Place system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Chippenham
We are under Chippenham's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
An Emery Gate shopping-centre food unit in Chippenham had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the mall. 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 Chippenham service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Borough Parade cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the Market Place takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Chippenham canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 Borough Parade or Market Place kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Borough Parade and Market Place are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Borough Parade operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Borough Parade, Market Place and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Wiltshire.
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 Market Place takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a St Mary Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Chippenham has campus catering at Wiltshire College, works catering at the signalling plant, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
