Bridgnorth · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Bridgnorth restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Bridgnorth
Bridgnorth fries hard across both levels, from the High Town Grill up top to the Seagull Fish Bar on Listley Street and the takeaways along Whitburn Street and Mill Street.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along East Castle Street, Mill Street and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the dozens of food premises rated in Bridgnorth, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease the part of the system the East Castle Street and Mill 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 Bridgnorth 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 East Castle Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Mill Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Bridgnorth fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork 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 Bridgnorth's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Bridgnorth 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 East Castle 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 an East Castle 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 Mill Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Bridgnorth
We are under Bridgnorth's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A village pub carvery in Bridgnorth had the plenum and filters caked in grease from steady service on the frying range. We soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and fan housing and washed the duct down to the fan, clearing the system to the TR19 Grease standard with the kitchen clearing smoke quickly again. We left before-and-after photos and a certificate for the file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Bridgnorth service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard East Castle Street cookline faster, so the kitchen runs cooler and the fan draws less to move the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the Mill Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Bridgnorth 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 East Castle Street or Mill Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence an East Castle Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean around East Castle Street and Mill 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Mill Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Mill Street and Whitburn Street 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 - from East Castle Street, Mill Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Shropshire.
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 East Castle Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
St Mary Magdalene church above the Severn was rebuilt to the design of Thomas Telford and consecrated in 1792, an early work by the engineer who would go on to shape Britain's canals and roads. Telford proved every structure to its load; a kitchen extract system is judged the same way. The canopy, grease filters and fan that pull warm laden air off a busy range are where a kitchen passes or fails, so we degrease the full run and record airflow to the rate it was built for.
