Extraction Cleaning · Bishops Cleeve
From the the village-centre pubs to the aerospace-works canteens, Bishops Cleeve cooks over open flame - and a greased-up canopy, filter and fan pull badly, run hot and add fire risk. We strip and degrease the whole system, canopy to fan, and certify it fire-safe.

Try the cost calculatorAcross Bishops Cleeve, from the village-centre pubs to the aerospace-works canteens, the cooklines all meet one test: service after service packing the canopy with grease. The kitchens differ; the grease does not.
One of 950 rated premises in the area, a Bishops Cleeve cookline packs grease onto its canopy, filters and fan day after day. When it sets, the hood stops pulling at the line, the kitchen goes hot and smoky, and the caked filters and fan become a fire risk over an open flame. We strip and degrease the lot so the airflow and the fire safety return.
A degreased extraction is not just a compliance tick - your chefs feel it on the line. Restored airflow pulls the heat, smoke and grease-laden air off the cookline instead of leaving it in the kitchen, so the space is cooler to work in and the cooking smells stay out of the dining room.
It is measured and evidenced to TR19 Grease, with the fan the tell: when a Bishops Cleeve kitchen goes hot and smoky, it is usually grease unbalancing the impeller, not the filters.
The standard on a commercial canopy. We strip, soak and scrape them back, and flag any that are warped or missing - the gap a warped filter leaves lets grease straight into the plenum.
Common on lighter lines and older canopies, and quick to clog solid. We clean what you run and advise where a baffle filter would serve a heavy frying line better.
On enclosed or recirculating systems. We service the stages, check the seals and tell you what needs replacing rather than cleaning.
Many cooklines carry a wet-chemical system built into the canopy. We degrease the filters, canopy and fan without disturbing the nozzles or detection - so you keep both defences.
Where a gas interlock ties the cookline to the extract, we work around it and leave it functioning, so the line cannot fire without the extraction running.
We check and clear accessible fire dampers in the run, so a damper that has to close in a fire is not seized solid with grease.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At a gastropub in Bishops Cleeve, cooking a full menu for a busy trade, the hood had stopped drawing cleanly and grease coated the filters, plenum and fan. We washed down the canopy and filters, degreased the plenum and fan, and cleaned the duct as far as access allowed between services. The extraction pulled cleanly again, with a certificate and photo record.
At a nursing home in Bishops Cleeve, feeding residents through the day, the extraction had weakened and the kitchen filled with haze as the fan clogged with grease. We cleared the filters and canopy, scraped back the plenum and accessible run, and degreased the impeller out of hours. The airflow and the fire safety came back, certified with before-and-after photographs.
We survey the canopy, filters and fan and gauge the grease loading and how far airflow has dropped.
The line and any suppression system are protected and the area covered before we start.
The whole system is degreased - filters, canopy, plenum and fan - twice over where grease is baked on.
You get the certificate, the before-and-after photographs and a recommended re-clean date.
It goes by how hard you cook. A heavy line fouls faster than a light one, so TR19 Grease sets the interval by daily cooking hours; we read your grease loading and set a next-due date instead of guessing.
The whole system - filters, canopy, plenum, fan housing and impeller, and the accessible duct. Grease on the fan is usually what has actually killed the airflow, so filters alone rarely fix a hot, smoky kitchen.
No. We degrease around the nozzles and detection of a wet-chemical system without disturbing them, so both the extraction and the suppression are left working.
Yes - Church Road and the village centre, the GE Aerospace works, and the Cheltenham-edge estates, and across the wider Gloucestershire.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closed days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work, so the kitchen is ready for the next service.
Bishops Cleeve grew around the GE Aerospace works that make avionics for Boeing and Airbus below Cleeve Hill, a large village north of Cheltenham whose pubs and the factory canteens feed thousands of workers. Left in place, that grease feeds flame and starves airflow. We work around service so the extraction is clean, certified and pulling properly before the next service.
We have stripped, degreased and certified commercial extraction to TR19 Grease since 2001, across Gloucestershire and the UK. On a hard-frying line the job is the same every time: the whole system taken back, the fan balanced, and a certificate that satisfies your insurer and fire risk assessor.
Send us your cookline and frying hours and we will survey, strip, degrease and certify - across Gloucestershire.
