Windsor · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Windsor restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Windsor
Windsor fries hard along Peascod Street, St Leonards Road and Dedworth Road, and in the riverside kitchens off Thames Street, where restaurants, takeaways and hotel canopies run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across St Leonards Road, Dedworth Road and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Windsor rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
The kit the St Leonards Road and Dedworth Road cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Windsor fan is not working against 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 St Leonards Road cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Dedworth Road service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Windsor fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
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 Windsor's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Windsor 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 St Leonards 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 St Leonards 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 Dedworth Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Windsor
We are under Windsor's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A busy kebab shop in Windsor had a heavy grease layer over the plenum and filters, a real fire risk above the range. We soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and first bend of the duct and washed the duct down to the fan. Cleaned to the TR19 standard, the system was drawing properly once more, with a certificate for the file. The shop next door asked us for a quote after seeing the results.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Windsor service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard St Leonards Road cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Dedworth Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Windsor 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 St Leonards Road or Dedworth Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around St Leonards Road and Dedworth Road are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Peascod Street 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 St Leonards Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 St Leonards Road 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 Dedworth Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Dedworth Road 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.
Local knowledge
Windsor Castle has stood above the Thames for close to a thousand years, the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world and the reason the town's streets fill with visitors every day of the year. That trade turns on food, 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.
