Kitchen extract cleaning in Gloucester
Gloucester's food trade has shifted decisively towards the docks. Gloucester Quays, the outlet and leisure development on the historic docks, holds the largest cluster of restaurants in the city, with chain units along the waterside and around the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum, and the regenerated warehouses nearby have added bars and cafes. The four Gate streets that meet at the Cross, Westgate, Eastgate, Northgate and Southgate, carry the traditional town-centre mix of pubs, takeaways and independents, and Eastgate Shopping Centre and Kings Square add more. Barton Street and Bristol Road have the city's takeaway and South Asian restaurant rows, and Longlevens, Hucclecote and Quedgeley serve the suburbs.
Gloucestershire Royal Hospital is the largest kitchen in the city, and the rugby ground at Kingsholm brings big hospitality days through the season. Care homes are numerous across the city and the surrounding villages. Under TR19, a Quays chain restaurant running twelve-hour days is heavy use and needs cleaning every three months; a Westgate Street pub with a lunch and evening menu is usually moderate at six; a Longlevens cafe may be light use at twelve. We arrange TR19 cleans for takeaways, restaurants, pubs and care homes across Gloucester and the Severn Vale.
Compliance in Gloucester
Gloucester City Council's environmental health team carries out food hygiene inspections in the city and expects to see a record of extract cleaning with photographs, particularly for the tightly packed premises along Eastgate and Westgate Streets. Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service, which is part of Gloucestershire County Council and has its headquarters at Quayside House beside the docks, audits higher-risk premises under the Fire Safety Order; its Gloucester North and Gloucester South stations cover the city. The medieval and Georgian buildings of the Gate streets often have flats above kitchens. Insurers require TR19-interval cleaning as a condition of most commercial kitchen policies, and loss adjusters will ask for the certificate as the first step in any fire claim.
How it works for a Gloucester kitchen
Tell us about your Gloucester kitchen and we will pass the enquiry to a contractor who covers the city and the county and can quote within a working day. Quays units are usually cleaned overnight with landlord access arranged by the contractor; pubs and takeaways on a quiet day or after closing. You get a TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and grease readings, and we log the next due date and send a reminder ahead of it. Ask for a Gloucester quote.

Frequently asked questions
Do the contractors cover Stroud, Cheltenham, Tewkesbury and the Forest of Dean from Gloucester?
Yes. Gloucester is a natural base for the county, and the contractors we assign reach Cheltenham, Tewkesbury, Stroud, Stonehouse, Cinderford, Coleford, Lydney and Newent as well as the city itself. Travel is built into the quote. A business with sites in both Gloucester and Cheltenham can have them cleaned on the same schedule.
Our Kingsholm pub is packed on match days but quiet in the week. What interval applies?
Match-day spikes matter less than the average hours of cooking across the week. A pub that cooks lunch and dinner most days is moderate use under TR19 and needs a six-monthly clean; if the kitchen is only open a few hours a day outside match days it may be light use at twelve months. The contractor's grease readings at each visit will confirm the right interval.
Will the EHO accept the contractor's certificate as proof the extract has been cleaned?
Yes, provided it is a proper TR19 report with dated before-and-after photographs, grease-depth readings and a note of any sections not cleaned, which is what the contractors we assign produce. A bare invoice or a one-line certificate without photographs is not enough. Keep the report with your food safety records so it is to hand when the inspector arrives.
