Ilkeston · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Ilkeston restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Ilkeston
Ilkeston fries across the market town - the Bath Street and Market Place cooklines cook from open to close, and the South Street and Station Road kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Wharncliffe Road, Cotmanhay and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Ilkeston, most are frying in a cramped space.
What the Wharncliffe Road and Cotmanhay 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 Ilkeston 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 Wharncliffe Road cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Cotmanhay service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Ilkeston fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork 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 Ilkeston's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Ilkeston 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 Wharncliffe 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 a Wharncliffe 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 Cotmanhay system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Ilkeston
We are under Ilkeston's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
An Albion Centre food unit in Ilkeston had grease on the extract fan letting cooking smells drift into the centre. 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 team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Ilkeston service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Wharncliffe Road 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 Cotmanhay 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 Wharncliffe Road or Cotmanhay kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Ilkeston has campus catering at the local college, catering at Ilkeston Community Hospital, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Cotmanhay and Market Place 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Cotmanhay takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
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 Wharncliffe Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Wharncliffe Road and Cotmanhay 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 - from Wharncliffe Road, Cotmanhay and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Derbyshire.
