Kitchen extract cleaning in Newcastle
Newcastle's kitchens follow the nightlife. Grey Street and the Bigg Market are the historic heart of it, Collingwood Street's bars run late every night of the week, Chinatown's Stowell Street cooks behind its arch, and the Quayside restaurants face Gateshead across the river. The Ouseburn valley has turned old warehouses into breweries, pizza kitchens and music venues, Jesmond's Osborne Road is a strip of hotels, bars and restaurants serving students and visitors, and Gosforth High Street and Heaton's Chillingham Road are the neighbourhood dining rows. Grainger Market holds a cluster of small hot-food traders under one roof, Eldon Square has its chain-restaurant terrace, and Westmorland Road and Adelaide Terrace in Elswick carry the city's South Asian and Middle Eastern grills and takeaways.
The heavy-use kitchens are easy to name. A Stowell Street wok range or an Elswick charcoal grill is heavy use under TR19 Grease at three months; a Quayside restaurant or an Osborne Road hotel kitchen serving lunch and dinner is usually moderate at six; an office cafe or a care-home kitchen in Gosforth is often light at twelve. Match days at St James' Park, the two universities and the RVI and Freeman hospitals add large-scale catering. We arrange TR19 kitchen extract cleaning for pubs and bars, restaurants and hotels across Tyneside.
Compliance in Newcastle
Newcastle City Council's environmental health officers inspect food businesses across the city and will ask when the extract was last cleaned, with Bigg Market, Stowell Street and Elswick premises getting particular attention for their cooking hours; Gateshead Council covers the south bank. Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service is the fire authority for both, and its protection teams know the Grainger Town buildings where a restaurant's ductwork rises through offices and flats, and the Ouseburn warehouses with long horizontal runs. Insurers make cover conditional on cleaning at the TR19 interval, and a loss adjuster instructed after a Newcastle kitchen fire will want the certificate, the grease readings and the photographs before accepting the claim. Freshers' week, Christmas and the Great North Run weekend all add cooking hours.
How it works for a Newcastle kitchen
Tell us the address and the style of cooking and a Tyneside contractor will price the job within a working day, working after close on Collingwood Street and the Quayside or in the morning for hotels and cafes. The specialist we assign cleans the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan to TR19 Grease, records grease depth before and after, photographs the work and issues the certificate. We diarise the next clean and get in touch ahead of the date. Request a Newcastle quote.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Grey Street restaurant in a listed Grainger Town building have its ductwork cleaned to TR19?
Yes. The clean works on the extract system rather than the building, and fitting access panels to ductwork does not normally affect the historic fabric. Grainger Town runs are often long and vertical, passing through floors let to other tenants, so the contractor may need your landlord's help with access; any section that cannot be reached is recorded in the report with the reason.
How often should a Stowell Street restaurant with wok ranges and a roast oven be cleaned?
Every three months. Wok cooking at high heat for twelve or more hours a day places a kitchen in the heavy-use band under TR19 Grease, and roast-duck ovens add to the deposit. The contractor's grease-depth readings on the first visit will confirm the band, and the certificate will carry a next-due date three months on, which is the date a loss adjuster checks against.
Do you arrange cleans in Gateshead, North Tyneside and Northumberland?
Yes. The contractors we assign cover the whole of Tyne and Wear, including Gateshead and the Metrocentre, Wallsend, North Shields, Tynemouth and Whitley Bay, and reach into south Northumberland for Cramlington, Blyth, Morpeth and Hexham. Travel is priced into the quote from the outset rather than added later.
