Tiverton · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Tiverton restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Tiverton
Tiverton fries hard along Barrington Street, Angel Hill and Westexe, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Barrington Street, Angel Hill and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Tiverton, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease the part of the system the Barrington Street and Angel Hill 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 Tiverton 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 Barrington Street 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 Angel Hill service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Tiverton 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 Tiverton's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Tiverton 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 Barrington 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 Barrington 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 an Angel Hill system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Tiverton
We are under Tiverton's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A long-established care home kitchen in Tiverton had a heavy grease layer over the filters and extract duct, a genuine fire risk above the pizza oven. We soaked the filters off, hand-scraped the canopy and fan housing and degreased through to the extract fan. The canopy and duct came up clean and safe with noticeably stronger extraction, backed by a signed certificate. Space out front was tight, so we brought the hoses round from the rear yard.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Tiverton service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Barrington 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 Angel Hill takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

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 Barrington Street or Angel Hill kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Angel Hill and Bampton 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.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Barrington Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Barrington Street and Angel Hill are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Tiverton has the hospital, college and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality 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 Barrington Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 Angel Hill takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Local knowledge
Blundell's School has stood in Tiverton since 1604, endowed by a cloth merchant who made his fortune in the town's kersey trade, and the school and its heritage still bring steady custom to Tiverton's kitchens. The town trades on food and hospitality now more than cloth, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
