Llandudno · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Llandudno restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Llandudno
Llandudno fries hard along Upper Mostyn Street, Mostyn Street and the Craig-y-Don parade, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out right through the holiday season.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Upper Mostyn Street, Craig-y-Don and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Llandudno rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Upper Mostyn Street and Craig-y-Don cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean Llandudno fan is not fighting a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Upper Mostyn 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 Craig-y-Don service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Llandudno 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 Llandudno's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Llandudno 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 Upper Mostyn 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 an Upper Mostyn 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 Craig-y-Don system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Llandudno
We are under Llandudno's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
The canopy, filters and plenum of a high-street Llandudno school canteen were carrying a heavy grease load off the chargrill. We degreased the filters and extract duct down to clean steel, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. Cleaned to TR19, the fan was pulling freely again, and the certification went into the client's file. We scheduled the work for a Monday when the canteen was closed.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Llandudno service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Upper Mostyn Street cookline faster, so the kitchen sits cooler and the fan draws less to shift the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem all at once. How often it is needed follows how hard you cook - the Craig-y-Don takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes 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 Upper Mostyn Street or Craig-y-Don kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Upper Mostyn Street, Craig-y-Don and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Conwy.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Mostyn Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Craig-y-Don and Gloddaeth Street 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 Craig-y-Don takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Llandudno has the hotel, seafront and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - 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 an Upper Mostyn Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Local knowledge
The Great Orme Tramway has hauled visitors up the headland since 1902 and is the only cable-worked street tramway left in Britain, one more draw for the crowds that pour along the promenade and pier each season. The town's trade turns on feeding those crowds, and its hotel and seafront kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow. So we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
