Ferndown · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Ferndown restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Ferndown
Ferndown fries hard along Ringwood Road and Victoria Road and out at Longham, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Longham, West Parley and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Ferndown, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
What the Longham and West Parley 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 Ferndown 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 Longham 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 West Parley 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 Ferndown 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 Ferndown's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Ferndown 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 Longham 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 Longham 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 West Parley system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Ferndown
We are under Ferndown's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A well-known burger bar in Ferndown had a heavy grease load through the plenum and filters, thrown off the pizza oven. We took the canopy and fan housing back to metal, degreased the housing and refitted the filters once cleaned. The system met TR19 and was drawing properly once more, with the paperwork emailed over that afternoon. We also gave the head chef a few pointers on keeping things clearer between visits.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Ferndown service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Longham 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 West Parley takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Ferndown 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 Longham or West Parley 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 Longham kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around West Parley and Ringwood 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.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Ferndown has the clubhouse, care-home and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
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 West Parley takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Longham and West Parley 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 - from Longham, West Parley and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Dorset.
Local knowledge
Ferndown grew into an affluent commuter and retirement town on the northern edge of Bournemouth, and its Ringwood Road chip shops have earned a name well beyond the town - Salt and Vinegar took Best Newcomer at the National Fish and Chip Awards. The town's trade runs on food and hospitality now, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so it cannot simply be wiped and forgotten. We strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
