Peterborough · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Peterborough restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Peterborough
Peterborough fries hard - the multicultural cooklines of Lincoln Road cook from open to close, and the Bridge Street and Cathedral Square kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Lincoln Road to Cowgate and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Peterborough rates around 1,900 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the Lincoln Road and Cowgate 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 Peterborough 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 Lincoln 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 Cowgate 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 Peterborough 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 Peterborough's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Peterborough 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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln 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 Cowgate system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Peterborough
We are under Peterborough's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A city-centre hotel kitchen in Peterborough had heavy grease built up on a horizontal extract run passing over guest areas. We hand-scraped the grease out of the duct interior and sanitised the fan housing, bringing it back to compliance and taking away any risk of grease leaks - cleaned overnight to avoid disturbing guests.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Peterborough service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Lincoln 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 Cowgate 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 Lincoln Road or Cowgate kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Lincoln Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes - from Lincoln Road, Cowgate and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Cambridgeshire.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Cowgate takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Lincoln Road 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 Lincoln Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Peterborough has campus catering at ARU Peterborough, production kitchens at the City Hospital, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
