Kitchen extract cleaning in Bath
Bath's restaurants are almost all in Georgian buildings, which shapes everything about extract cleaning in the city. Milsom Street, George Street and the streets around the Abbey, Pulteney Bridge and the Roman Baths hold the tourist-facing restaurants and hotel dining rooms; Walcot Street and the Artisan Quarter around it are the independent stretch; Kingsmead Square, Westgate Street and Sawclose have the bars and late-night kitchens; and the SouthGate centre by the station carries the chains. Widcombe, Bear Flat, Oldfield Park and Larkhall serve the neighbourhoods and the University of Bath's students on Claverton Down, and Bath Spa University adds a second campus population.
Listed status is the norm rather than the exception, so many kitchens have extract systems threaded through vaults, light wells and upper floors, with discharge points that had to satisfy conservation officers. That makes access planning part of every clean. The city's hotel trade, from the spa hotels to the guest houses along Pulteney Road, is year-round rather than seasonal. A hotel kitchen serving breakfast and dinner daily is heavy use under TR19 with a three-month interval; a Walcot Street bistro is typically moderate at six; a small tearoom may be light use at twelve. We arrange canopy cleaning and full TR19 cleans across the city.
Compliance in Bath
Bath and North East Somerset Council's environmental health team inspects food premises across the city and, given the number of kitchens in listed and multi-occupied buildings, routinely asks about extract cleaning and access. Avon Fire & Rescue Service covers Bath and audits hotels and restaurants under the Fire Safety Order; a grease fire in a Georgian terrace with guest bedrooms above is precisely the scenario its officers work to prevent. The Royal United Hospital at Weston is the largest institutional kitchen in the area. Insurers and loss adjusters apply the TR19 test to any kitchen fire claim, and Bath's older buildings mean the consequences of an uncertificated system can be severe.
How it works for a Bath kitchen
Let us know where in Bath the kitchen is and whether the building is listed, and we will pass the enquiry to a contractor who knows the city's buildings and can quote within a working day. Hotel kitchens are cleaned overnight; restaurants after service; access panels are planned around the building's constraints. The finished job comes with a TR19 certificate, dated photographs and grease readings, and we remind you when the next clean is due. Request a Bath quote.

Frequently asked questions
Our kitchen is in a Grade II listed building near the Abbey. Will fitting access panels be a problem?
Internal access panels in ductwork rarely need listed building consent because they do not alter the historic fabric, though external changes to the discharge might. The contractor will survey the run and propose panel positions that avoid anything sensitive. Where a section cannot be accessed without works you do not want to undertake, the report records it and explains why.
Do you cover Keynsham, Radstock, Midsomer Norton and the villages around Bath?
Yes. The specialists we assign for Bath cover the whole of Bath and North East Somerset, including Keynsham, Saltford, Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Paulton and Peasedown St John, and reach into Wiltshire towards Bradford-on-Avon, Corsham and Chippenham. Travel is included in the quote. A pub group with sites across the area can have them all on one schedule.
What does the contractor do about the extractor fan itself?
The fan is part of the system and TR19 covers it. The contractor cleans the impeller blades and the fan housing, checks the discharge duct beyond the fan, and photographs the fan before and after. A fan caked in grease loses airflow, which makes the whole kitchen hotter and pushes more vapour into the room. See our extractor fan cleaning page for detail.
