Altrincham · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Altrincham restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Altrincham
Altrincham fries across the market town - the Altrincham Market and Goose Green cooklines cook from open to close, and the Shaws Road and Stamford New Road kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along George Street, Regent Road and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Altrincham, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease exactly what the George Street and Regent Road cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean Altrincham fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying George Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Regent Road service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Altrincham fire risk assessment and insurer have the record they ask for.
Filters
The standard for commercial cooklines: they trap grease and slow flame spread. Cleaned, or replaced when warped or corroded.
Common on older or lighter setups; they clog fast and pass grease through if neglected. We flag where a baffle upgrade is overdue.
On the odour and emission-controlled systems near Altrincham's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Altrincham cookline's extraction and its fire protection are one system - and a clean is the moment to check the join.
Nozzles aimed at the canopy and cooking points; grease build-up around them on a busy George Street line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails on a George Street line, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for the grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point on a Regent Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Altrincham
We are under Altrincham's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Stamford Quarter food unit in Altrincham had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the centre. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Altrincham service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard George Street cookline faster, so the kitchen sits cooler and the fan draws less to shift the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem all at once. How often it is needed follows how hard you cook - the Regent Road takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

Questions
It depends how hard the kitchen runs. Under TR19 Grease, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day points to roughly every three months, moderate to every six, light to every twelve. A busy George Street or Regent Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Regent Road and Goose Green run a canopy, filters and a fan and often carry a heavy grease load for their size. We clean and certify them the same way as a full restaurant system.
Yes. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Regent Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Extraction cleaning covers the canopy, filters and fan; where the concealed duct run behind them is also loaded - as it often is in a tight George Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes - from George Street, Regent Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater Manchester.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Altrincham has campus catering at Trafford College, food-hall kitchens at Altrincham Market, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over an Altrincham Market cookline can count against your score.
