Falkirk · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Falkirk restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Falkirk
Falkirk fries hard along Grahams Road, Cow Wynd and the Main Street through Camelon, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Grahams Road to Main Street and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Falkirk rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Grahams Road and Main 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 Falkirk 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 Grahams Road 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 Main Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Falkirk 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 Falkirk's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Falkirk 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 Grahams Road 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 Grahams Road 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 Main Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Falkirk
We are under Falkirk's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A local curry house in Falkirk had baked-on grease over the plenum and filters, well past a safe level above the cook line. We degreased the canopy and fan housing back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The system met the TR19 standard with noticeably stronger extraction and a certificate on completion, and we flagged a worn part to the manager for their maintenance records.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Falkirk service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Grahams Road 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 Main Street takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Falkirk 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 Grahams Road or Main Street 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 Main Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Main Street and Newmarket 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.
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 Grahams Road 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 Grahams Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Falkirk has the hospital, college and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes - from Grahams Road, Main Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Falkirk.
Local knowledge
The Falkirk Wheel opened in 2002 as the only rotating boat lift in the world, swinging canal boats twenty-four metres between the Forth and Clyde and Union canals on the principle Archimedes described two thousand years ago. The town trades on visitors and food as much as engineering now, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
