Hinckley · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Hinckley restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Hinckley
Hinckley fries across the town - the Castle Street and Regent Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Market Place and Crescent kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Crescent, Lower Bond Street and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 900 food premises rated across Hinckley, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Crescent and Lower Bond 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 Hinckley 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 Crescent 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 Lower Bond Street 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 Hinckley 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 Hinckley's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Hinckley 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 Crescent 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 Crescent 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 Lower Bond Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Hinckley
We are under Hinckley's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Crescent leisure-development restaurant in Hinckley had grease carbonising on the extract fan and cutting the pull through the evening rush. We ran a manual degrease over the fan and housing, rebalanced the impeller and reset the speed, clearing the haze that had built over the dining room. The site's facilities team signed off the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Hinckley service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Crescent 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 Lower Bond Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Hinckley 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 Crescent or Lower Bond Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Crescent operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Crescent kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Crescent and Lower Bond 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Castle Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Hinckley has campus catering at the local college, works catering at the Triumph factory, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Lower Bond Street and Regent 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.
