Farnborough · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Farnborough restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Farnborough
Farnborough fries across the town - the Victoria Road and Camp Road cooklines cook from open to close, and the North Camp and Princes Mead kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Farnborough Road, Kingsmead and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Farnborough rates more than 400 food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
The kit the Farnborough Road and Kingsmead cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Farnborough fan is not working against 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 Farnborough Road 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 Kingsmead service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Farnborough 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 Farnborough's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Farnborough 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 Farnborough 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 Farnborough 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 Kingsmead system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Farnborough
We are under Farnborough's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A private school dining hall in Farnborough had dry, brittle grease deposits that looked clean from outside but carried a high fire risk. We ran a full strip-down of the canopy and used specialist scrapers to remove the hardened brittle grease, clearing the fire risk and cleaning the system to bare metal throughout. The bursar was given a formal letter of assurance for the school's insurers.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Farnborough service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Farnborough 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 Kingsmead takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Farnborough 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 Farnborough Road or Kingsmead 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 Farnborough Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Victoria Road cookline can count against your score.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Farnborough Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Farnborough Road, Kingsmead and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Hampshire.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Farnborough Road and Kingsmead 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. The takeaways and grill houses around Kingsmead and Camp Road 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.
