Crewe · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Crewe restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Crewe
Crewe fries across the town - the Nantwich Road and Market Hall cooklines cook from open to close, and the Victoria Street and Mill Street kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Edleston Road, Hightown and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 3,000 food premises rated across Crewe, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease the part of the system the Edleston Road and Hightown 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 Crewe 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 Edleston Road 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 Hightown 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 Crewe 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 Crewe's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Crewe 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 Edleston 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 an Edleston 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 Hightown system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Crewe
We are under Crewe's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A farm-shop bistro in Crewe had an uneven grease film giving inconsistent air pressure through the extraction. We ran a foaming degrease with a high-pressure wash for full surface coverage, evening out the airflow and clearing the blockage risk, with a photographic report for the owners.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Crewe service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Edleston Road cookline faster, so the kitchen sits cooler and the fan draws less to shift the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem all at once. How often it is needed follows how hard you cook - the Hightown takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

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 Edleston Road or Hightown kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Crewe has campus catering at the Cheshire College, production kitchens at Leighton Hospital, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence an Edleston Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Edleston Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Edleston Road and Hightown are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Nantwich Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Hightown and Victoria 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.
