Kitchen extract cleaning in Liverpool
Liverpool's independent food scene grew up on Bold Street and spread outwards. Ropewalks, Seel Street and Duke Street hold the late bars and restaurants, the Baltic Triangle has converted warehouses and Cains Brewery Village into a district of taprooms, street-food yards and events kitchens, and Castle Street's banking halls now house the business-lunch restaurants. Hope Street and the Georgian Quarter sit between the two cathedrals with hotels and well-known dining rooms; Chinatown on Nelson Street is the oldest in Europe; the Royal Albert Dock and Liverpool ONE carry the visitor and chain-restaurant trade by the water. Further out, Lark Lane in Aigburth, Allerton Road, Smithdown Road and Woolton village each run a lively strip of their own.
Cooking style decides the interval. A Nelson Street wok kitchen or a Smithdown Road fried-chicken shop is heavy use under TR19 Grease at three months; a Bold Street cafe-restaurant open from breakfast to late is usually moderate at six; a hotel breakfast kitchen on the waterfront may be light at twelve. Match days at Anfield and Goodison, the Royal Liverpool and Alder Hey hospitals, and three universities keep large kitchens busy year round. We arrange TR19 Grease cleans for hotels, restaurants and bars across Liverpool and the Wirral, including ductwork cleaning in the older warehouse buildings.
Compliance in Liverpool
Liverpool City Council's environmental health service inspects the city's food premises and its officers expect the extract-cleaning report to be filed with the food safety records; Wirral, Sefton and Knowsley councils cover their own sides of the river and boundary. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service is the fire authority for all of them, and its protection officers are familiar with the Baltic Triangle's converted warehouses, where long, old ductwork and timber floors make a grease fire particularly dangerous. Insurers respond to that risk with policy conditions that require cleaning at the TR19 interval, and loss adjusters instructed on a Liverpool claim ask for the certificate and photographic evidence on day one. Cruise-ship calls, the Grand National and summer festivals all stretch the trading hours that determine your frequency.
How it works for a Liverpool kitchen
Give us the address and the type of cooking and a Merseyside contractor will price the job within a working day, working after close for the bars around Seel Street and Bold Street or in the morning for hotels and cafes. The specialist we assign cleans the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan to TR19 Grease, takes grease-depth readings and dated photographs, and issues the certificate. We record when the next clean falls due and contact you in good time, so the paperwork is never out of date when an inspector or insurer asks.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover the Wirral and Sefton as well as Liverpool itself?
Yes. The contractors we assign work on both sides of the Mersey, taking in Birkenhead, Heswall, West Kirby and New Brighton on the Wirral and Bootle, Crosby, Formby and Southport in Sefton, as well as Knowsley and St Helens. Travel is factored into the quote from the start, so a Southport hotel is priced on the same basis as a Bold Street restaurant.
Our Baltic Triangle venue has a street-food kitchen inside an old warehouse. Does TR19 still apply?
It does. Any commercial cooking that produces grease-laden vapour falls under TR19 Grease, whatever the building, and converted warehouses often have the longest and most awkward duct runs in the city. The contractor will survey the route, fit access panels where none exist, clean to the discharge point and record any section that could not be reached, which is exactly what a loss adjuster looks for.
How much does a TR19 clean cost for a Lark Lane restaurant?
It depends on the number of canopies, the length and route of the ductwork, where the fan sits and how long since the last clean. A single-canopy kitchen with a short run to a rear wall fan is at the lower end; a two-floor restaurant with a roof fan costs more because of the time and access involved.
