Dunfermline · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Dunfermline restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Dunfermline
Dunfermline fries along the High Street, Bridge Street and East Port, where fish bars, takeaways and restaurant kitchens run their extraction hard through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Pilmuir Street to New Row and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Dunfermline rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Pilmuir Street and New Row 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 Dunfermline 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 Pilmuir Street 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 New Row 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 Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Dunfermline 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 Pilmuir 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 Pilmuir 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 New Row system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Dunfermline
We are under Dunfermline's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A tea room kitchen extract system in Dunfermline had the canopy, filters and plenum caked in grease from steady service on the range. We degreased the canopy and fan housing back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The grease was cleared to the TR19 Grease standard with noticeably stronger extraction, and we left a full photo report and certificate for the file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Dunfermline service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Pilmuir 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 New Row takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Dunfermline 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 Pilmuir Street or New Row kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 New Row takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around New Row and Bridge 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.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Pilmuir 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 High Street cookline can count against your result.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Dunfermline has the college, hospital and High Street kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Pilmuir Street and New Row 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
Dunfermline was granted city status in October 2022, and its Fife Interchange North estate now houses Amazon's 1.1 million square foot fulfilment centre alongside the town's takeaways and restaurant kitchens. Every one of those catering extract systems moves hot, grease-laden air that coats canopies, filters and fans until it becomes a fire load. We strip and degrease the canopy, the plenum and the fan back to bare metal, then certify the work to the recognised grease-cleaning standard.
