Cannock · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Cannock restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Cannock
Cannock fries across the town - the Market Place and High Green cooklines cook from open to close, and the Wolverhampton Road and Designer Outlet kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Norton Canes, Market Place and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Cannock rates around 823 food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Norton Canes and Market Place cooks labour under - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is exactly what we degrease. Cleaned right it draws as it was meant to, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate and running cooler, since a clean Cannock fan no longer battles a greased one to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Norton Canes cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Market Place service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Cannock fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
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 Cannock's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Cannock 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 Norton Canes 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 Norton Canes 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 Market Place system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Cannock
We are under Cannock's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A garden-centre bistro in Cannock had a high density of organic grease drawing insects and threatening the hygiene rating. We ran a thorough chemical degrease and steam sanitisation to get the system completely clean, securing the hygiene status - it passed the subsequent environmental-health inspection, with a full report for the owner's records.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Cannock service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Norton Canes 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 Market Place takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Cannock canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 Norton Canes or Market Place kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Market Place 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 Norton Canes kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Cannock has campus catering at the South Staffordshire College Cannock campus, production kitchens at Cannock Chase Hospital, and outlet and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Market Place and Hednesford 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. Most venues we clean around Norton Canes and Market Place are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Norton Canes operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
