Failsworth · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Failsworth restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Failsworth
Failsworth fries hard along Old Road, Poplar Street and the parades around the Pole, where chippies, kebab houses and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Old Road, Poplar Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Failsworth rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Old Road and Poplar Street 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 Failsworth 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 Old 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 Poplar Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Failsworth 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 Failsworth's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Failsworth 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 Old 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 Old 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 Poplar Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Failsworth
We are under Failsworth's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
The extract system at a Failsworth school canteen had a plenum and filters caked in grease from steady service on the fryers. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and first bend of the duct back and degreased the accessible run to the fan. It finished clean and fire-safe with the fan pulling freely again, and we left the photos and paperwork for the records. The job went in over a bank holiday to suit the head chef.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Failsworth service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Old 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 Poplar Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 Old Road or Poplar Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Failsworth has the pub, care-home and takeaway kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Old Road and Poplar Street 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 an Old Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Old Road, Poplar Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater Manchester.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Pole Lane cookline can count against your score.
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 Old Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
Failsworth built its name on hats - the felt and silk trade that ran here for more than a century, and the Failsworth brand still trading on that heritage today. The town's working life turns on food now as much as cloth, and the kitchens along Old Road, Poplar Street and Oldham Road coat their canopies and extract systems in grease through every service. Left in place that grease feeds flame and starves airflow, so it has to come off. We strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard, and photograph the ductwork clean before we leave.
