Brighouse · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Brighouse restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Brighouse
Brighouse fries hard along Bradford Road, Commercial Street and Huddersfield Road, where fish and chip shops like Blakeleys and The Golden Hind, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Bradford Road, Huddersfield 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 Brighouse, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease exactly what the Bradford Road and Huddersfield 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 Brighouse 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 Bradford Road 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 Huddersfield Road service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Brighouse 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 Brighouse's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Brighouse 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 Bradford Road 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 Bradford Road 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 Huddersfield Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Brighouse
We are under Brighouse's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A popular Chinese takeaway in Brighouse had its canopy and fan housing caked in grease from steady service on the griddle. We degreased the canopy and fan housing back to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The extract was left clean and fire-safe with noticeably stronger extraction, and the paperwork was issued for the file. We fitted the visit around the school run so the staff weren't disturbed.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Brighouse service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Bradford Road 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 Huddersfield Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Brighouse 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 Bradford Road or Huddersfield Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Huddersfield Road and Bethel 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.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Bradford Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Commercial Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Brighouse has the town-centre, pub and college kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality 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 Huddersfield 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 Bradford Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
The Calder and Hebble Navigation, engineered by John Smeaton and reaching Brighouse in 1764, turned a cluster of 55 houses into a booming inland port, its basin still moored in the town centre today. The town's trade turns on food now more than wire or wool, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, so we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
