Bolton · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bolton restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bolton
Bolton fries across the town - the Bradshawgate and Deansgate cooklines, the Bolton Market food court, and the Horwich and Great Moor Street kitchens cook from open to close.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Bradshawgate to Great Moor Street and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Bolton rates around 2,500 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Bradshawgate and Great Moor Street cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Bolton fan is not fighting a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Bradshawgate 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 Great Moor Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Bolton 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 Bolton's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bolton 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 Bradshawgate 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 Bradshawgate 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 Great Moor Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bolton
We are under Bolton's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A sports-arena hospitality suite in Bolton had sticky grease gathering in the ducting bends from a heavy catering load. We deep-degreased the bends and sanitised the internal surfaces, getting the system back to standard for the big events - fitted in between major matchdays.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bolton service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Bradshawgate cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Great Moor Street takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Bolton canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
Remove filters and access panels, protect the cookline.

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 Bradshawgate or Great Moor Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Bradshawgate and Great Moor Street are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Great Moor Street and Deansgate 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.
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 Bradshawgate kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 Great Moor Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Bolton has campus catering at the university, production kitchens at the Royal Bolton, and stadium 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 a Bradshawgate cookline can count against your score.
