Kettering · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Kettering restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Kettering
Kettering fries across the town - the Gold Street and High Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Lower Street and Market Place kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Sheep Street to Montagu Street and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Kettering rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Sheep Street and Montagu Street 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 Kettering 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 Sheep Street 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 Montagu Street service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Kettering 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 Kettering's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Kettering 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 Sheep Street 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 Sheep Street 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 Montagu Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Kettering
We are under Kettering's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Newlands centre food unit in Kettering had grease on the extract fan letting smoke drift into the mall. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, drawing the smoke back into the canopy. The centre's facilities office took a recurring quarterly clean and signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Kettering service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Sheep Street cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Montagu Street takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Kettering canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.
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 Sheep Street or Montagu Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Sheep Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Sheep Street and Montagu 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.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Kettering has campus catering at Tresham College, production kitchens at Kettering General Hospital, and park and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Sheep Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Gold Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes - from Sheep Street, Montagu Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Northamptonshire.
