Oadby · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Oadby restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Oadby
Oadby fries hard along The Parade and Stoughton Road, where curry houses, takeaways and chip shops run their extraction flat out through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From The Parade to Stoughton Road and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Oadby rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
What the The Parade and Stoughton Road cooks labour under - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is exactly what we degrease. Cleaned right it draws as it was meant to, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate and running cooler, since a clean Oadby fan no longer battles a greased one to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying The Parade 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 Stoughton Road 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 Oadby 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 Oadby's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Oadby 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 The Parade 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 The Parade 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 Stoughton Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Oadby
We are under Oadby's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A well-known school canteen in Oadby had thick grease right through the canopy, filters and plenum, choking the pull over the chargrill. I soaked the filters, scraped down the canopy, filters and plenum and washed the duct through to the fan. The canopy passed its grease-depth check and the kitchen was clearing smoke quickly again, and I left a certificate for their file. The owner arranged a yearly return before I packed up.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Oadby service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard The Parade 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 Stoughton Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Oadby 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 The Parade or Stoughton Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around The Parade and Stoughton 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 - from The Parade, Stoughton Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Leicestershire.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Stoughton Road and East 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. Beyond restaurants, Oadby has the racecourse, college and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Sandhurst Street cookline can count against your score.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a The Parade operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Local knowledge
The Parade is the heart of Oadby's food scene, a run of curry houses, sweet shops and takeaways that serves one of Leicestershire's largest Gujarati communities. Kitchens turning out tarka, tandoor and deep-fried dishes coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow, which is exactly what a kitchen fire needs. So we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
