Kitchen extract cleaning in Hereford
Hereford is a small cathedral city serving a large rural county, and its kitchens reflect both. High Town, Church Street and Widemarsh Street hold the cafes and independent restaurants at the heart of the city; the Old Market development brought national chain restaurants and a cinema to the site of the former cattle market; and the Left Bank on Bridge Street and the hotels along the Wye trade on cathedral visitors and the Mappa Mundi. Commercial Road and Eign Gate carry the takeaways, and the pubs in the villages towards Ledbury, Ross and the Black Mountains do a weekend trade that would surprise a city operator. Hereford's cider houses and its restaurants built around local beef and orchard fruit give the county a food identity of its own.
The County Hospital, the Rotherwas industrial estate, the city's cider and food-processing plants and the racecourse add larger kitchens, and the county's many care homes add more. TR19 puts a Commercial Road fryer takeaway on a clean every three months, a Left Bank restaurant or Wye hotel at six months, and a light-use village-hall kitchen at twelve. We arrange TR19 extract cleans and extractor fan cleaning for care homes, pubs and restaurants across Herefordshire.
Compliance in Hereford
Herefordshire Council is the unitary authority for the whole county, so its environmental health officers inspect food premises from the city centre to the most remote village pub, and Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety across the same area. The rural spread is the local challenge: a fire in a country pub's extract may be a long way from the nearest station, which is why insurers underwriting rural hospitality push hard on prevention and write the TR19 interval into the policy. After any fire the loss adjuster asks for the certificate first. Care homes have the CQC to satisfy on top, and a dated report with readings and photographs answers both without extra effort.
How it works for a Hereford kitchen
Give us the postcode and a sentence about the kitchen and we will match you with a contractor who covers Hereford and the county, with a quote normally within a working day. Country pubs are usually cleaned on a closed day or morning; the hospital and care homes between meals. The specialist we assign cleans the canopy, plenum, duct and fan to TR19 Grease, issues the certificate and photo report, and we let you know when the next visit is due. Ask for a Hereford quote.

Frequently asked questions
We are a country pub twenty miles from Hereford. Is it worth your contractors coming out?
Yes. The contractors we assign for Herefordshire expect rural travel and price it into the quote rather than adding a surcharge, and they will often group several village pubs on one day. A Golden Valley inn or a Wye Valley hotel gets the same survey, clean and certificate as a city-centre restaurant.
Our care home is inspected by the CQC. What extract-cleaning record should we keep?
Keep the most recent TR19 certificate and photo report on file, together with the survey showing grease-depth readings and the next due date. Most care-home kitchens fall into the six- or twelve-month band depending on hours and menu, and having the record to hand satisfies both an inspector's question about kitchen safety and the insurer's policy condition.
Does a cider house or farm-shop cafe need a TR19 clean?
If there is a canopy over cooking equipment, yes. Farm-shop kitchens and cider-house restaurants often cook more than their owners expect, particularly in summer and at harvest, and a fryer or griddle run daily puts the kitchen in the moderate band at six months. A seasonal daytime cafe with light cooking may only need an annual clean.
