Kitchen extract cleaning in Aberdeen
Aberdeen's restaurants cluster around Union Street and the streets that drop away from it. Belmont Street and the Green hold the bars and independent kitchens, Thistle Street in the West End has become the city's most reliable stretch for small independents, and Union Square by the station carries the chain restaurants and cinema crowd. Old Aberdeen's High Street serves the university, the beach esplanade has cafes and family restaurants, and Rosemount and Holburn Street have neighbourhood takeaways and grills. The energy industry shapes the rest: corporate hotels in Dyce and around the airport, the P&J Live arena, staff canteens on the Altens and Tullos estates, and offshore catering contractors' onshore bases.
The heavy-use kitchens are the grills and fryers. A late-night takeaway on Union Street or a charcoal grill in Rosemount is heavy use under TR19 Grease and needs cleaning every three months; a Thistle Street restaurant or a Dyce hotel serving breakfast and dinner is usually moderate at six; a corporate canteen at Altens or a care-home kitchen in Cults is often light at twelve. Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and Robert Gordon University both cook at scale, and the city and shire have many care homes answering to the Care Inspectorate. We arrange TR19 Grease cleans for all of them through north-east Scotland contractors.
Compliance in Aberdeen
Aberdeen City Council's environmental health officers inspect the city's food premises under the Food Hygiene Information Scheme, and businesses in Westhill, Stonehaven, Inverurie and Ellon answer to Aberdeenshire Council instead; both ask about extract cleaning during a hygiene visit. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety in non-domestic premises across the north-east and its officers know the granite tenement buildings of the city centre, where a restaurant's ductwork often rises through flats. Insurers and their loss adjusters expect the TR19 certificate as evidence that the cleaning condition in the policy was met, and corporate clients with hotel and catering contracts in the energy sector usually audit for the same document. Care homes report to the Care Inspectorate, whose inspectors ask to see the certificate on file.
How it works for a Aberdeen kitchen
Tell us the address and what the kitchen cooks and a contractor covering Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire will quote within a working day. City-centre restaurants and bars are cleaned after close, hotels on a quiet midweek night, canteens at weekends or between shifts. The specialist we assign cleans the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan to TR19 Grease, takes grease-depth readings and photographs, and issues the certificate, and we diarise the next clean and remind you before it is due.

Frequently asked questions
Our hotel in Dyce serves offshore crews and corporate guests. What does an energy-sector client audit look for?
Corporate and energy-sector clients usually ask for the same evidence as an insurer: a TR19 Grease report with dated photographs, grease-depth readings at set points, a note of any section not cleaned and why, and the contractor's insurance and qualification details. The contractors we assign produce that bundle on every job, and it can be shared with the client's facilities team as well as your own insurer.
Do you cover Aberdeenshire towns such as Inverurie, Stonehaven and Peterhead?
Yes. The contractors we work with cover Aberdeen and the wider shire, including Westhill, Inverurie, Ellon, Banchory, Stonehaven, Portlethen and Peterhead, with travel priced into the quote from the outset. A hotel in Banchory or a fish-and-chip shop in Stonehaven is quoted on its extract system rather than on the distance from the city.
How often does a care home in Cults or Bridge of Don need its extract cleaned?
Care-home kitchens cooking three meals a day on a fairly light menu typically fall into the moderate band at six months or the light band at twelve, depending on how much frying and roasting is done. The contractor confirms the band from grease readings on the first visit, and the certificate is the document the Care Inspectorate and the home's insurer expect to see on file.
