Kenilworth · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Kenilworth restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Kenilworth
Kenilworth fries hard along Warwick Road, Abbey End and Talisman Square, where the town's Indian and Thai restaurants, cafes and takeaways run their extraction flat out through every service.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Abbey End, Castle Green and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Kenilworth, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Abbey End and Castle Green 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 Kenilworth 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 Abbey End cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean the baffle filters or swap them where needed, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the piece that quietly sheds performance as grease weighs down the blades over a hard Castle Green service. It is cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as it should and your Kenilworth fire risk assessment and insurer get the record they want.
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 Kenilworth's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Kenilworth 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 Abbey End 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 Abbey End 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 Castle Green system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Kenilworth
We are under Kenilworth's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A privately owned cafe in Kenilworth had a heavy grease load across the canopy and first bend of the duct from its range. I cleaned the canopy and first bend until the metal was clean, degreased the fan housing and refitted the cleaned filters. The grease was cleared to TR19 with the fan pulling freely again, and I documented it with a set of images and a certificate. I handed the landlord a short set of images for their H and S folder.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Kenilworth service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Abbey End 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 Castle Green takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Kenilworth 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 Abbey End or Castle Green 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 Abbey End kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Abbey End and Castle Green 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 Abbey End operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Castle Green takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes - from Abbey End, Castle Green and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Warwickshire.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Castle Green and Talisman Square 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.
Local knowledge
John of Gaunt rebuilt Kenilworth Castle in the 1370s and raised a great hall so grand it rivalled any in England, its kitchens roasting and baking to feed the feasts held beneath its timber roof. The town's trade turns on food now more than on castles, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place that grease feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard. It is the same problem the castle cooks knew - fat, smoke and heat with nowhere to go - solved to a modern standard.
