Edgware · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Edgware restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Edgware
Edgware fries across the town - the Station Road and High Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Burnt Oak Broadway and Hale Lane kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Stonegrove, Mollison Way and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 2,600 food premises rated across Edgware, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease the part of the system the Stonegrove and Mollison Way 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 Edgware 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 Stonegrove 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 Mollison Way 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 Edgware 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 Edgware's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Edgware 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 Stonegrove 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 Stonegrove 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 Mollison Way system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Edgware
We are under Edgware's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A wholesale warehouse canteen in Edgware had grease deposits forming obstructive dams within the vertical ducting, badly limiting the extraction. We used industrial steam cleaning to melt and wash the grease dams away, returning the system to a compliant state with the airflow balanced across the zones, and issued a certificate of compliance for the insurance file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Edgware service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Stonegrove 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 Mollison Way 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 Stonegrove or Mollison Way kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Stonegrove, Mollison Way and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater London.
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 Mollison Way takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Mollison Way and High 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. Beyond restaurants, Edgware has campus catering at the Middlesex University Hendon campus, production kitchens at Edgware Community Hospital, and shopping-centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Stonegrove and Mollison Way are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours 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 Stonegrove kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
