Nelson · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Nelson restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Nelson
Nelson fries hard along Leeds Road, Every Street and Railway Street, where takeaways, chip shops and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Leeds Road to Every Street and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Nelson rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Leeds Road and Every Street 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 Nelson 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 Leeds Road 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 Every Street 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 Nelson 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 Nelson's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Nelson 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 Leeds Road 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 Leeds Road 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 Every Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Nelson
We are under Nelson's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A small Chinese takeaway in Nelson had thick grease collected through the canopy and first bend of the duct, cutting the pull over the chargrill. We soaked the filters, scraped the filters and extract duct and washed the ductwork down to the fan. The system was cleaned to TR19 standard with much better draw across the canopy, and we left before-and-after photos and a compliance certificate for the audit file.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Nelson service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Leeds Road 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 Every 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 Leeds Road or Every Street 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 Scotland Road 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 Every Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Every Street and Manchester 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.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Leeds Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Leeds Road kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes - from Leeds Road, Every Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Lancashire.
Local knowledge
Nelson sits in the shadow of Pendle Hill, whose slopes gave England its most famous witch trials when twelve people from the surrounding villages were sent to Lancaster to be tried in 1612. The hill now draws walkers and visitors whose custom keeps the town's pubs, cafes and takeaways busy, 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. The evidence pack shows every duct clean before we close the access panels.
