Neath · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Neath restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Neath
Neath fries hard - the chip shops and takeaways along Windsor Road, Green Street and Orchard Street run hot ranges most of the day.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Queen Street, Alfred Street and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Neath, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease exactly what the Queen Street and Alfred 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 Neath 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 Queen Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Alfred Street service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Neath fire risk assessment and insurer have the record 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 Neath's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Neath 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 Queen 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 Queen 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 an Alfred Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Neath
We are under Neath's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A cafe kitchen extract canopy in Neath had the canopy, filters and plenum caked in grease from steady service on the griddle. We cleaned the canopy, filters and plenum back to metal, degreased the fan housing and refitted the cleaned filters. The system was cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard with noticeably stronger extraction, and we left a report and photos for the file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Neath service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Queen 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 Alfred Street takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.
Inspect the Neath 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 Queen Street or Alfred Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Alfred Street and Green 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. Most venues we clean around Queen Street and Alfred 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 - from Queen Street, Alfred Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Neath Port Talbot.
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 Queen Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Queen Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Neath has the market, college and pub kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Local knowledge
Neath RFC, the Welsh All Blacks, have played at the Gnoll since 1871 and once set a world record for points in a season. Match days pack the town's kitchens and fryers. Behind every busy servery the extraction canopy pulls grease-laden air off the range, and without cleaning the filters clog and the airflow drops. We degrease canopies, filters and fans so the system pulls to its design rate and the fire risk above the cookline stays down.
