Renfrew · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Renfrew restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Renfrew
Renfrew fries hard along Hairst Street, Canal Street and Paisley Road, where chip shops like the Sherwood, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Inchinnan Road, Cockels Loan 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 Renfrew, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease exactly what the Inchinnan Road and Cockels Loan cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean Renfrew fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Inchinnan Road 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 Cockels Loan service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Renfrew 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 Renfrew's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Renfrew 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 Inchinnan 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 an Inchinnan 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 Cockels Loan system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Renfrew
We are under Renfrew's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
Baked-on grease had covered the filters and extract duct of a Renfrew sandwich shop, well past a safe level over the range. We scoured the filters and duct back to clean steel, degreased the fan housing and refitted the filters once they were done. The extract came away clean and fire-safe with far better draw across the canopy, and we photographed the change and issued a certificate. A single overnight shift meant the dining room could open as normal.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Renfrew service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Inchinnan 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 Cockels Loan takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Renfrew 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 Inchinnan Road or Cockels Loan kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Inchinnan Road, Cockels Loan and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Renfrewshire.
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 Inchinnan Road 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 Inchinnan Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Hairst Street cookline can count against your result.
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 Cockels Loan takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Cockels Loan and Canal 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.
Local knowledge
Renfrew Airport was Glasgow's original airport, handling its first scheduled flights in 1933 from the aerodrome off Inchinnan Road before it was decommissioned in 1966 and replaced by Abbotsinch, now Glasgow Airport, two kilometres away. The town's trade turns on food and hospitality now, and its busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place that grease feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
