Perth · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Perth restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Perth
The city fries along the High Street, South Street and Methven Street, where busy takeaways and cafes push serious volume through their canopies.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along St John Street, Methven Street and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Perth, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease the part of the system the St John Street and Methven Street cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Perth fan is not fighting 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 St John Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Methven Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Perth fire risk assessment and insurer have the record 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 Perth's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Perth 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 St John 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 St John 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 a Methven Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Perth
We are under Perth's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A burger bar extract canopy in Perth had a heavy grease load across the plenum and filters from the griddle. We degreased the filters and extract duct back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The grease was cleared to the TR19 Grease standard with the fan pulling freely again, and we left before-and-after photos and a certificate for the file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Perth service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard St John Street cookline faster, so the kitchen sits cooler and the fan draws less to shift the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem all at once. How often it is needed follows how hard you cook - the Methven Street takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.
Inspect the Perth 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 St John Street or Methven Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Methven Street and South 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.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Perth has the college, hospital and High Street kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around St John Street and Methven 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.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a St John Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 St John Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 result.
Local knowledge
Matthew Gloag and Son first sold The Famous Grouse from a Perth grocer's in 1896, and for a century this was Scotland's blending capital, with Bell's and Dewar's founded on the same streets. That trade left a city that knows a job done to standard. Commercial kitchen extraction is ours: we strip grease from canopies, plenums, filters and ductwork, restore airflow through the fan, and photograph every access point so the fire risk in your flue is measured, not assumed.
