Gloucester · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Gloucester restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Gloucester
Gloucester fries across the city - the Barton Street food strip cooks from open to close, and the Docks and Gloucester Quays cooklines run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Barton Street, Eastgate Street and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the around 1,050 food premises rated in Gloucester, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
The kit the Barton Street and Eastgate Street 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 Gloucester 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 Barton Street 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 Eastgate Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Gloucester 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 Gloucester's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Gloucester 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 Barton 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 Barton 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 an Eastgate Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Gloucester
We are under Gloucester's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A medieval-building tea room in Gloucester had carbonised grease seated deep behind inaccessible brick chimney features. We combined manual scraping with precision high-pressure steam jetting to reach it, restoring the chimney extraction safely and updating the fire-safety certification - coordinated with the heritage site manager for a non-invasive clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Gloucester service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Barton 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 Eastgate Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Gloucester 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 Barton Street or Eastgate Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Northgate Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Barton Street and Eastgate Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
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 Barton Street 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 Barton Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Barton Street, Eastgate Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Gloucestershire.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Gloucester has campus catering at the university, production kitchens at the Gloucestershire Royal, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
