Extraction Cleaning · Tiverton
From the the Fore Street inns to the Pannier Market cafes, Tiverton 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 calculatorTiverton cooks hard, and from the Fore Street inns to the Pannier Market cafes every cookline faces the same test - service after service loading its canopy with grease. The settings vary; the grease does not.
One of 1,050 rated premises in the area, a Tiverton 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 Tiverton 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 Tiverton, serving food through the week, the system was running hot and pulling poorly, grease built up from the filters to the fan. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and accessible duct back, and degreased the plenum and fan on a closed day. The draw returned, and we certified it with a photo record for the file.
At a care home in Tiverton, cooking three meals a day for its residents, a heavy line had loaded the canopy and fan housing and the extraction had gone weak. We degreased the whole system - filters, canopy, plenum, fan and the accessible duct working around service. 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.
On cooking hours. The heavier the line the sooner it needs doing - TR19 Grease bases the interval on daily cooking hours, so we assess your loading and put a next-due date on it rather than guess.
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 - Fore Street and the Pannier Market, the Heathcoat factory and St Peter's, and the Tiverton Business Park and Lamb estates, and across the wider Devon.
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.
Tiverton grew around John Heathcoat's lace factory, still one of the town's great employers, where the Exe meets the Grand Western Canal, a mill town whose Fore Street inns, the Pannier Market and the Tiverton Business Park keep it fed and working. 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 Devon 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 Devon.
