Loughborough · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Loughborough restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Loughborough
Loughborough fries across the university town - the Market Place and Baxter Gate cooklines cook from open to close, and the Swan Street and Ashby Road kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Biggin Street, Ashby Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 1,400 food premises rated across Loughborough, most are frying in a cramped space.
What the Biggin Street and Ashby Road 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 Loughborough 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 Biggin Street 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 Ashby Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Loughborough 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 Loughborough's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Loughborough 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 Biggin 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 Biggin 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 Ashby Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Loughborough
We are under Loughborough's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A science-park cafe in Loughborough had grease on the extract intake near the grill leaving a haze over the counter. We ran a hot chemical flush through the plenum, sanitised the intake chamber and reset the fan, restoring a clear extraction and issuing a fresh fire-safety certificate. The park's facilities team took a six-monthly service.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Loughborough service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Biggin Street cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Ashby Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Loughborough 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 Biggin Street or Ashby Road 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 Biggin Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Market Place cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Loughborough has campus catering at Loughborough University, production kitchens at Loughborough Hospital, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Biggin Street and Ashby 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 Biggin Street, Ashby Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Leicestershire.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Ashby Road and Baxter Gate 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.
