Hounslow · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Hounslow restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Hounslow
Hounslow fries across the borough - the Staines Road and High Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Bell Road and Feltham kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Isleworth, Feltham and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Hounslow rates around 2,200 food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Isleworth and Feltham 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 Hounslow 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 Isleworth 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 Feltham 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 Hounslow 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 Hounslow's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Hounslow 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 Isleworth 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 Isleworth 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 Feltham system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Hounslow
We are under Hounslow's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A staff canteen at Hounslow had carbonised grease throughout the ventilation system after a long stretch without a professional clean. We used high-pressure thermal cleaning to dissolve the stubborn fat and sanitised the internal surfaces to the fire-safety standard, bringing the system back to condition on an overnight clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Hounslow service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Isleworth 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 Feltham 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 Isleworth or Feltham kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Feltham takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Hounslow has campus catering at West Thames College, production kitchens at West Middlesex University Hospital, and airline-catering and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Isleworth and Feltham are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence an Isleworth operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Isleworth, Feltham and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater London.
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 Isleworth kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
