Extraction Cleaning · Radstock
From the The Street pubs to the town-centre cafes, Radstock 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 calculatorFrom The Street pubs to the town-centre cafes, Radstock runs its cooklines hard, and each one faces the same thing - grease building on the canopy service after service. The settings change; the grease does not.
In a food economy of 1,853 rated premises, a Radstock line loads canopy, filters and fan steadily until the grease sets - and then the hood stops capturing, the kitchen turns hot and smoky, and the fan sits as a fire risk over a live flame. We degrease the whole system so draw and fire safety come back together.
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 Radstock 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 pub in Radstock, serving food through the week, the hood had stopped drawing cleanly and grease coated the filters, plenum and fan. We stripped the baffles and canopy, cleaned the accessible duct, and degreased the fan housing and blades between services. The cookline drew properly again, certified with before-and-after photos.
At a care home in Radstock, cooking three meals a day for its residents, grease had built from the baffles back to the impeller and the canopy no longer pulled the line clear. We cleared the filters and canopy, scraped back the plenum and accessible run, and degreased the impeller out of hours. Airflow and fire safety restored, we left a report and 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 - The Street and the town centre, the museum and old market hall, and the Writhlington edge of town, and across the wider Bath area.
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.
Radstock sits at the heart of the old Somerset coalfield, its Victorian market hall now a museum, a former mining and railway town whose pubs and cafes feed the town. 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 Somerset 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 Somerset.
