Melton Mowbray · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Melton Mowbray restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray fries across the food capital - the Nottingham Street and Sherrard Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the High Street and Market Place kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along King Street, Windsor Street 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 Melton Mowbray, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
The kit the King Street and Windsor Street 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 Melton Mowbray 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 King 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 Windsor 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 Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Melton Mowbray 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 King 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 King 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 Windsor Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Melton Mowbray
We are under Melton Mowbray's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Market Place cafe in Melton Mowbray had grease carbonising on the extract fan and cutting the pull through the market-day rush. We ran a manual degrease over the fan and housing, rebalanced the impeller and reset the speed, clearing the haze that had built over the servery. The clean was fitted around the twice-weekly market so the trade kept moving.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Melton Mowbray service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard King 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 Windsor Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 King Street or Windsor Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a King Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from King Street, Windsor Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Leicestershire.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Melton Mowbray has campus catering at Brooksby Melton College, market catering at the twice-weekly market, and town-centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Windsor Street and Sherrard 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 Windsor Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around King Street and Windsor 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.
