Winchester · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Winchester restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Winchester
Winchester fries across the ancient city - the Jewry Street and High Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Parchment Street and Southgate Street kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Broadway, Great Minster Street and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the around 1,150 food premises rated in Winchester, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
What the Broadway and Great Minster Street 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 Winchester 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 Broadway 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 Great Minster Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Winchester 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 Winchester's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Winchester 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 Broadway 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 Broadway 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 Great Minster Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Winchester
We are under Winchester's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Brooks centre food unit in Winchester had grease loading the extract fan and letting cooking smells drift into the mall. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Winchester service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Broadway 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 Great Minster Street 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 Broadway or Great Minster Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Winchester has campus catering at the University of Winchester, production kitchens at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Broadway 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 Great Minster Street 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 Jewry Street cookline can count against your score.
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 Broadway kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Great Minster Street and High 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.
