Newport · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Newport restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Newport
Newport fries across the city - the Commercial Street and Friars Walk cooklines cook from open to close, and the Maindee and Cambrian Road kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Cambrian Road to Maindee and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Newport rates around 1,300 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the Cambrian Road and Maindee 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 Newport 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 Cambrian Road 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 Maindee 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 Newport 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 Newport's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Newport 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 Cambrian 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 Cambrian 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 a Maindee system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Newport
We are under Newport's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A city-centre restaurant in Newport had carbonised fat deposits built up through the extraction system over the main ranges. We decarbonised the extract runs and degreased the fan components, bringing the system back to a sanitised, efficient state with a handover report for the restaurant management.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Newport service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Cambrian Road 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 Maindee 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 Cambrian Road or Maindee kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Commercial Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Maindee and Friars Walk 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.
Yes - from Cambrian Road, Maindee and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider South Wales.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Newport has campus catering at the University of South Wales Newport campus, production kitchens at the Royal Gwent Hospital, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Cambrian Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Cambrian Road and Maindee are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
