Faversham · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Faversham restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Faversham
Faversham cooks hardest along Preston Street, Court Street and down at Standard Quay, where restaurants, cafes and takeaways run their extraction flat out through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Preston Street to Standard Quay and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Faversham rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the Preston Street and Standard Quay 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 Faversham 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 Preston Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean the baffle filters or swap them where needed, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the piece that quietly sheds performance as grease weighs down the blades over a hard Standard Quay service. It is cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as it should and your Faversham fire risk assessment and insurer get the record they want.
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 Faversham's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Faversham 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 Preston 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 Preston 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 Standard Quay system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Faversham
We are under Faversham's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A town-centre Faversham school canteen had the canopy and first bend of the duct caked in grease from steady service on the chargrill. We degreased the canopy, filters and plenum until the metal showed, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The canopy passed its grease-depth check with the fan pulling freely again, and the certificate was issued as we finished. We flagged a worn part for the manager's maintenance records.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Faversham service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Preston Street 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 Standard Quay takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Faversham 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 Preston Street or Standard Quay kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Preston Street, Standard Quay and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Kent.
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 Preston Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Standard Quay and Abbey 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Court Street cookline can count against your score.
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 Standard Quay takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Preston Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Local knowledge
Standard Quay was a working port for more than five hundred years, its Monk's Granary and Victorian warehouses handling the wool, oysters, hops and grain that came and went on the creek. The old quayside trades in food now, its warehouses given over to restaurants and butchers, 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.
