Yeovil · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Yeovil restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Yeovil
Yeovil fries across the town - the Middle Street and Wine Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Union Street and Silver Street kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Silver Street, Market Street 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 Yeovil, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
The kit the Silver Street and Market Street 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 Yeovil 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 Silver 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 Market Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Yeovil 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 Yeovil's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Yeovil 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 Silver 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 Silver 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 a Market Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Yeovil
We are under Yeovil's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Quedam centre coffee house in Yeovil had grease on the extract intake near the panini grills leaving a haze over the servery. We ran a hot chemical flush through the plenum, sanitised the intake chamber and reset the fan, restoring a clear extraction and issuing a fresh fire-safety certificate. The centre management took a six-monthly service.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Yeovil service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Silver Street cookline faster, so the kitchen runs cooler and the fan draws less to move the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the Market Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Yeovil 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 Silver Street or Market Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Yeovil has campus catering at Yeovil College, production kitchens at Yeovil District Hospital, and stadium 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 Silver Street 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 Silver Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Middle Street cookline can count against your score.
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 Market Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Silver Street and Market Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
