Kitchen extract cleaning in Leicester
Leicester cooks for a wider range of tastes than almost any city its size. The Golden Mile along Belgrave Road and Melton Road is famous for its Gujarati vegetarian restaurants, sweet shops and snack bars, whose deep fryers and tawa griddles run from morning until late and go into overdrive around Diwali. Narborough Road, west of the centre, has been called the most diverse street in Britain and its Turkish, Kurdish, Polish, Somali and Punjabi kitchens back that up, while Evington Road and Green Lane Road serve the east side. In the centre, Highcross and the St Martin's Lanes hold the chains and independents respectively, the Cultural Quarter around Orton Square and the Curve has bars and restaurants that fill before performances, and Braunstone Gate in the West End runs late for the De Montfort crowd.
Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital, the two universities and the King Power Stadium add large kitchens, and Clarendon Park's Queens Road has a village of cafes and bistros. The TR19 bands apply cleanly: Golden Mile and Narborough Road kitchens frying all day are quarterly, a Cultural Quarter restaurant is six-monthly, and a light-use museum cafe is annual. We arrange ductwork cleaning and full TR19 cleans for restaurants across Leicester.
Compliance in Leicester
Leicester City Council's environmental health officers inspect food businesses across the city, and their workload on Belgrave Road and Narborough Road alone is considerable; Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety and is alert to the terraced shop units with flats above that make up most of both streets, where a duct fire moves into living space quickly. Insurers know the risk profile of fryer-heavy kitchens and write the TR19 interval into policies accordingly, so a loss adjuster handling a Leicester claim will ask for the certificate and expect it to be no more than three months old for a heavy-use kitchen. Diwali and the run-up to it push cooking hours up sharply, which is worth timing a clean around.
How it works for a Leicester kitchen
Send us the address, the cooking style and roughly how many hours a day the kitchen runs, and a Leicester-based contractor will quote within a working day. Golden Mile restaurants are usually cleaned after the evening service; hospital and stadium kitchens are booked around their rotas. The specialist we assign cleans the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan to TR19 Grease, issues the certificate with photographs and readings, and we remind you ahead of the next due date.

Frequently asked questions
A vegetarian kitchen has no meat fat. Does it still need a three-monthly clean?
Very often, yes. Grease load comes from the cooking oil, not the ingredients, and a Golden Mile kitchen frying bhajis, samosas and farsan through the day puts as much vapour into the extract as a grill house. Where the fryers run twelve hours or more, TR19 treats the kitchen as heavy use, and the grease-depth readings at each clean tend to confirm it.
Should we book the clean before or after Diwali?
Before, if the current interval means you would otherwise be due during the festival period. The weeks either side of Diwali are the heaviest of the year on Belgrave Road and Melton Road, so going into them with a freshly cleaned system keeps the grease thickness in check and avoids trying to find an overnight slot when every kitchen is at full stretch.
Do the contractors work in Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough as well?
Yes. The contractors we match with Leicester enquiries cover the county and into Rutland, so a pub in Melton Mowbray or a care home in Hinckley is served from the same base. If you run more than one site across Leicestershire we can align the dates so the certificates are issued together.
