Marlborough · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Marlborough restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Marlborough
From the fish and seafood counters on the High Street to the takeaways off Kingsbury Street and London Road, Marlborough fries at volume most nights of the week.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across London Road, Oxford Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Marlborough rates dozens of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the London Road and Oxford Street 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 Marlborough 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 London Road 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 Oxford 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 Marlborough 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 Marlborough's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Marlborough 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 London Road 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 London Road 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 Oxford Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Marlborough
We are under Marlborough's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A small bakery in Marlborough had thick grease through the filters and extract duct, cutting the pull over the chargrill. We degreased the canopy and fan housing back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters, leaving the extract clean and fire-safe with the kitchen clearing smoke quickly again. We handed over photos, a report and a certificate for their file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Marlborough service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard London Road 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 Oxford Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Marlborough 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 London Road or Oxford Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around London Road and Oxford 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 High Street cookline can count against your score.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a London Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Marlborough has the coaching-inn and High Street kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Oxford Street and Kingsbury 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.
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 London Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
Marlborough made its money as a coaching stop on the London-to-Bath road, its inns feeding travellers by the hundred beside Savernake Forest, the largest privately owned forest in England. The town still feeds people at volume, and the grease that carries goes straight into the canopy and extract. We strip filters, canopies and fans back to bare metal and certify the clean, so a night's frying does not become a fire in the ductwork above the range.
