Gosport · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Gosport restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Gosport
Gosport fries around the harbour - the High Street and Stoke Road cooklines cook from open to close, and the Waterfront and Lee-on-the-Solent kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Stokes Bay to Forton Road and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Gosport rates around 600 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Stokes Bay and Forton Road cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Gosport fan is not fighting 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 Stokes Bay cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Forton Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Gosport fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork 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 Gosport's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Gosport 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 Stokes Bay 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 Stokes Bay 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 Forton Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Gosport
We are under Gosport's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A pub kitchen in Gosport had a heavy layer of heat-baked grease behind the roasting array, a real structural fire risk. We used high-pressure hot-water jetting to strip the hardened fat without damaging the underlying metalwork, bringing the ventilation system to a certified residue-free standard and lowering the insurance fire risk.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Gosport service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Stokes Bay 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 Forton Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 Stokes Bay or Forton Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Forton Road and Stoke 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Forton Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Gosport has campus catering at St Vincent College, production kitchens at Gosport War Memorial Hospital, and marina and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Stokes Bay and Forton 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 - from Stokes Bay, Forton Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Hampshire.
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 Stokes Bay kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
