Witney · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Witney restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Witney
Witney fries across the market town - the High Street and Corn Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Bridge Street and Market Square kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Market Square, Marriotts Walk 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 Witney, most are frying in a cramped space.
What the Market Square and Marriotts Walk 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 Witney 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 Market Square 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 Marriotts Walk service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Witney 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 Witney's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Witney 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 Market Square 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 Market Square 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 Marriotts Walk system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Witney
We are under Witney's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Marriotts Walk food unit in Witney had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the precinct. 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 Witney service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Market Square 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 Marriotts Walk takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Witney canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 Market Square or Marriotts Walk kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Marriotts Walk takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Witney has campus catering at the Abingdon and Witney College, works catering at the medical-device plant, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Marriotts Walk and Corn 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.
Yes - from Market Square, Marriotts Walk and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Oxfordshire.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Market Square operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Market Square and Marriotts Walk are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
