Newcastle upon Tyne · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Newcastle upon Tyne restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Newcastle upon Tyne
Newcastle fries hard - the Chinatown cooklines of Stowell Street, the Bigg Market and Quayside kitchens, and the Osborne Road strip in Jesmond cook from open to close.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Bigg Market, Ouseburn and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With over 2,600 food premises rated across Newcastle upon Tyne, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease the part of the system the Bigg Market and Ouseburn 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 Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Bigg Market 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 Ouseburn service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Bigg Market 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 Bigg Market 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 Ouseburn system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Newcastle upon Tyne
We are under Newcastle upon Tyne's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A dockside transit cafe in Newcastle had damp air and cooking grease building up fast in the extract ductwork. We deep-degreased the ducting and treated it with an anti-bacterial agent, using quick-dry products so the run was ready to go back into service. It came back sanitised and protected against the damp-driven corrosion that had been setting in.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Newcastle upon Tyne service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Bigg Market cookline faster, so the kitchen runs cooler and the fan draws less to move the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the Ouseburn takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Bigg Market or Ouseburn 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 Bigg Market operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Ouseburn and Grey 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 - from Bigg Market, Ouseburn and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Tyne and Wear.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Stowell Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Bigg Market and Ouseburn 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 Ouseburn takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
