Featherstone · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Featherstone restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Featherstone
Featherstone fries hard along Station Lane and out through Purston and Streethouse, where chip shops, kebab houses and takeaways run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Purston, Streethouse and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the dozens of food premises rated in Featherstone, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
What the Purston and Streethouse 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 Featherstone 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 Purston 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 Streethouse 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 Featherstone 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 Featherstone's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Featherstone 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 Purston 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 Purston 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 Streethouse system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Featherstone
We are under Featherstone's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
Steady service on the chargrill had caked the plenum and filters at a family-run Featherstone school canteen. I degreased the canopy, filters and plenum to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The canopy passed its grease-depth check with the fan pulling freely again, and I left a certificate for the file. A nearby takeaway asked for a quote after seeing the results.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Featherstone service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Purston 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 Streethouse takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets 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 Purston or Streethouse kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Girnhill Lane cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Purston and Streethouse are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
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 Streethouse takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Purston operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Streethouse and Post Office Road 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.
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 Purston kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
On 7 September 1893, during a national lockout of the coalfields, soldiers of the South Staffordshire Regiment fired on miners and their families at the gates of Ackton Hall Colliery, killing James Gibbs and James Duggan - the Featherstone Massacre, still marked in the town today. The pits are gone, and the town's working day now turns as much on its cafes, chip shops and takeaways as it once did on coal. Those kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service, and left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow. We strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
