Mexborough · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Mexborough restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Mexborough
Mexborough fries hard through Swinton and Denaby and along the High Street, where chip shops, curry houses and takeaways run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Swinton, Doncaster Road 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 Mexborough, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease the part of the system the Swinton and Doncaster Road 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 Mexborough 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 Swinton 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 Doncaster Road 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 Mexborough 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 Mexborough's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Mexborough 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 Swinton 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 Swinton 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 Doncaster Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Mexborough
We are under Mexborough's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
The filters and extract duct at a popular Mexborough school canteen carried a heavy grease load from the range. I soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and first bend and washed the duct down to the fan. The canopy and duct came up clean and safe with the airflow over the range restored, and I left certification for the client's file. A nearby cafe asked for a quote once they saw the finish.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Mexborough service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Swinton 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 Doncaster Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Mexborough 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 Swinton or Doncaster Road 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 Swinton kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Doncaster Road and Pastures 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over an Adwick Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Swinton and Doncaster Road 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Doncaster Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes - from Swinton, Doncaster Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider South Yorkshire.
Local knowledge
When the Rockingham porcelain works closed, Alfred Baguley carried the trade into Mexborough in 1865, decorating fine ware in the town until his death in 1891, and Rockingham-glazed earthenware kept the name alive long after. The town's trade turns on food now more than clay, and 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.
