Malvern · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Malvern restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Malvern
Malvern fries hard around Barnards Green, Worcester Road and Church Street, where its takeaways, cafes and Indian and Chinese kitchens run extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Barnards Green, Malvern Link and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Malvern, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
The kit the Barnards Green and Malvern Link cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Malvern fan is not working against 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 Barnards Green cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean the baffle filters or swap them where needed, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the piece that quietly sheds performance as grease weighs down the blades over a hard Malvern Link service. It is cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as it should and your Malvern fire risk assessment and insurer get the record they want.
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 Malvern's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Malvern 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 Barnards Green 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 Barnards Green 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 Malvern Link system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Malvern
We are under Malvern's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A bakery in Malvern had baked-on grease covering the plenum and filters, sitting well past a safe level over the pizza oven. We lifted the filters for a soak, hand-scraped the canopy and first bend of the duct and degreased through to the extract fan. The canopy and duct came up clean and safe with the system drawing properly once more, and a certificate was issued on completion. We set up a recurring annual clean to keep on top of it.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Malvern service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Barnards Green cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the Malvern Link takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Malvern 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 Barnards Green or Malvern Link 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 Belle Vue Terrace cookline can count against your score.
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 Malvern Link takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Barnards Green and Malvern Link are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours 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 Barnards Green kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Malvern Link and Church 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. Beyond restaurants, Malvern has the theatre, college and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Local knowledge
Edward Elgar lived his life in sight of the Malvern Hills, cycling their lanes for the themes that became the Enigma Variations, and he is buried at St Wulstan's church in Little Malvern. His town still fills for the concerts and plays at Malvern Theatres, the old Winter Gardens, and the cafes and takeaways around them run their extraction hard every service. Left in place, the grease that coats a canopy and extract system feeds flame and starves airflow. So we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
