Poole · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Poole restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Poole
Poole fries across the harbour town - the Poole Quay and Old Town cooklines, and the Ashley Cross and Sandbanks kitchens cook from open to close.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Poole Quay to Hamworthy and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Poole rates around 3,500 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Poole Quay and Hamworthy 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 Poole 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 Poole Quay 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 Hamworthy service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Poole 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 Poole's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Poole 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 Poole Quay 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 Poole Quay 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 Hamworthy system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Poole
We are under Poole's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A boutique hotel kitchen in Poole had salt-mist corrosion pitting the internal stainless duct walls. We combined mechanical scraping with low-pressure abrasive media blasting to clean and protect the surfaces, coordinating access with the site maintenance team. It came back sanitised and protected against further corrosion.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Poole service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Poole Quay 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 Hamworthy takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

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 Poole Quay or Hamworthy kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Poole Quay, Hamworthy and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Dorset.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Poole Quay and Hamworthy are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
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 Poole Quay 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 a Poole Quay operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Hamworthy takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Hamworthy and Broadstone 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.
