Horsham · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Horsham restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Horsham
Horsham fries across the market town - the East Street and Carfax cooklines cook from open to close, and the West Street and Piries Place kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Market Square to Causeway and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Horsham rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Market Square and Causeway cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean Horsham fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Market Square 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 Causeway service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Horsham 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 Horsham's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Horsham 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 Market Square 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 Market Square 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 Causeway system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Horsham
We are under Horsham's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Swan Walk centre food unit in Horsham had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the mall. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The centre's facilities office took a recurring quarterly clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Horsham service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Market Square 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 Causeway takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Horsham canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 Market Square or Causeway kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Horsham has campus catering at the local college, catering at Horsham Hospital, and centre 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 Market Square kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 Causeway takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes - from Market Square, Causeway and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Sussex.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Market Square and Causeway 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. The takeaways and grill houses around Causeway and Carfax 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.
