Peebles · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Peebles restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Peebles
Peebles fries along the High Street, Northgate and Eastgate, and every fryer and range there pushes grease-laden vapour up into a canopy and duct.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Old Town to Innerleithen Road and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Peebles rates dozens of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the Old Town and Innerleithen 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 Peebles 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 Old Town 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 Innerleithen Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Peebles 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 Peebles's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Peebles 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 Old Town 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 Old Town 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 Innerleithen Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Peebles
We are under Peebles's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A village pub carvery in Peebles had grease and carbon built up across the canopy and fan housing above the cook line. We removed the filters for a soak, hand-scraped the canopy and first bend of the duct and degreased through to the extract fan, clearing the grease to the TR19 Grease standard with the kitchen clearing smoke quickly again. We left before-and-after images and a certificate.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Peebles service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Old Town 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 Innerleithen Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Peebles 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 Old Town or Innerleithen Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Innerleithen Road and Northgate 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 Old Town, Innerleithen Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider the Scottish Borders.
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 Old Town kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence an Old Town operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Peebles has the hotel, restaurant and function kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Old Town and Innerleithen 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.
Local knowledge
Robert Smail's Printing Works on the High Street still runs its Victorian letterpress, preserved by the National Trust for Scotland as a working reminder of the town's trades. Grease extraction is a working trade too, and an unglamorous one. We strip fryer canopies, filters and the full extract run in Peebles kitchens back to bare metal, so grease-laden vapour has nowhere to settle and the system draws the way its designer intended.
