Consett · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Consett restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Consett
Consett fries across the town - the Middle Street and Newmarket Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Front Street and Medomsley Road kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Victoria Road, Sherburn Terrace and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Consett rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Victoria Road and Sherburn Terrace 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 Consett 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 Victoria Road cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean the baffle filters or swap them where needed, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the piece that quietly sheds performance as grease weighs down the blades over a hard Sherburn Terrace service. It is cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as it should and your Consett fire risk assessment and insurer get the record they want.
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 Consett's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Consett 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 Victoria 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 Victoria 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 Sherburn Terrace system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Consett
We are under Consett's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Hermiston Retail Park food unit in Consett had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift across the park. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The site's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Consett service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Victoria Road cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the Sherburn Terrace takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 Victoria Road or Sherburn Terrace kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Consett has campus catering at Derwentside College, works catering at the caravan plant, and retail-park and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
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 Victoria Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Victoria Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Sherburn Terrace takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Sherburn Terrace and Front 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. Most venues we clean around Victoria Road and Sherburn Terrace are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
