Fleet · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Fleet restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Fleet
Fleet fries hard along Fleet Road and Kings Road, and out through Church Crookham along Aldershot Road and Crookham Road, where takeaways, curry houses and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Aldershot Road, Crookham Road and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Fleet rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Aldershot Road and Crookham Road 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 Fleet 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 Aldershot 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 Crookham Road service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Fleet 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 Fleet's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Fleet 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 Aldershot 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 an Aldershot 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 Crookham Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Fleet
We are under Fleet's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
An independent fish and chip shop in Fleet had its canopy and fan housing caked in grease from steady service on the frying range. We degreased the filters and extract duct to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The canopy passed its grease-depth check and the kitchen cleared smoke quickly again, with photos, a report and a certificate handed over. We worked outside trading so the cafe could open as normal.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Fleet service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Aldershot Road 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 Crookham Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Fleet 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 Aldershot Road or Crookham Road 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 Aldershot Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Crookham Road and Kings 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Fleet Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Fleet has the town-centre, business-park and Church Crookham kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Aldershot Road and Crookham Road 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Crookham Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Local knowledge
Fleet sits on the edge of the Aldershot garrison, and for thirty years from 1970 the Gurkha regiments were based just down the road at Queen Elizabeth Barracks in Church Crookham, leaving the town its Gurkha Square and a lasting taste for Nepalese and South Asian cooking. Those 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.
