Extraction Cleaning · Pewsey
From the the Market Place inns to the village cafes, Pewsey 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 Pewsey, from the Market Place inns to the village cafes, the cooklines all meet one test: service after service packing the canopy with grease. The kitchens differ; the grease does not.
Sitting inside a food economy of 5,780 rated premises, a Pewsey cookline loads its canopy, filters and fan steadily. Once the grease sets, the hood stops capturing at the line, the kitchen turns hot and smoky, and the caked filters and fan sit as a fire risk over a live flame. We strip and degrease the whole system so the airflow - and the fire safety - come back.
Swapping filters treats the symptom; grease in the canopy, plenum and fan is what actually strangles the airflow. Clean the lot together and the cookline captures again, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fire risk over a live line comes down with it.
It is measured and evidenced to TR19 Grease, with the fan the tell: when a Pewsey 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 primary school in Pewsey, cooking hot lunches at volume through term, the hood had stopped drawing cleanly and grease coated the filters, plenum and fan. We took the canopy, filters and plenum back to clean metal and degreased the fan and the accessible run working around service. The draw returned, and we certified it with a photo record for the file.
At a hotel in Pewsey, running breakfast and dinner service for guests, grease had built from the baffles back to the impeller and the canopy no longer pulled the line clear. We soaked and scraped the filters, degreased the canopy and plenum, and cleaned the fan and ductwork on a closed day. Airflow and fire safety restored, we left a report and before-and-after photographs.
We check the canopy, filters and fan, note the airflow and grease loading, and agree scope around your service.
The cookline and any fire-suppression system are protected before work starts, and the area sheeted.
Filters, canopy, plenum and extract fan degreased - a two-stage clean where the grease is baked on.
You get a dated certificate, before-and-after photographs and a recommended cleaning interval.
By cooking volume. A heavy line needs cleaning more often than a light one - TR19 Grease sets the interval by daily cooking hours, and we assess your grease loading and set a next-due date rather than 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 - the Market Place and the King Alfred statue, the River Avon and the canal, and the Vale of Pewsey, and across the wider Wiltshire.
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.

Pewsey sits in its vale below a white horse cut for the coronation, around the King Alfred statue and the Avon and canal, a large village whose inns and cafes feed the Vale of Pewsey. 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 Wiltshire 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 Wiltshire.
