Market Harborough · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Market Harborough restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Market Harborough
Market Harborough fries hard along Springfield Street, Nelson Street and the High Street, where takeaways, cafes and the canalside restaurants run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Springfield Street, Nelson Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Market Harborough rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Springfield Street and Nelson 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 Market Harborough 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 Springfield Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Nelson Street service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Market Harborough fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
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 Market Harborough's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Market Harborough 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 Springfield 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 Springfield 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 Nelson Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Market Harborough
We are under Market Harborough's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
Grease had baked hard across the filters and extract duct of a well-known cafe canopy in Market Harborough, sitting well above a safe depth over the griddle. We dropped the filters into a soak, scraped the canopy and fan housing clean and washed the duct all the way down to the fan. The extract came back fire-safe with a much stronger pull across the canopy, and we left the kitchen a set of images and a certificate for their file. Fitting the job around the lunch rush meant the regulars never had their meal interrupted.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Market Harborough service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Springfield Street 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 Nelson Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Market Harborough 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 Springfield Street or Nelson Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Nelson Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Springfield Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Springfield Street, Nelson Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Leicestershire.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Nelson Street and St Mary's Road 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. Most venues we clean around Springfield Street and Nelson 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, Market Harborough has the canalside, town-centre and institutional kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Local knowledge
The Grand Union Canal reaches the town at Union Wharf, the old canal basin restored as a boating centre of workshops, moorings and a waterside restaurant a lock-free six miles from the great staircase at Foxton Locks. The town's trade turns on food as much as heritage now, and its busy 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.
