Oldham · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Oldham restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Oldham
Oldham fries across the town - the Yorkshire Street and Union Street cooklines, the Tommyfield Market food, and the Uppermill and Huddersfield Road kitchens cook from open to close.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Yorkshire Street, Huddersfield Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 1,900 food premises rated across Oldham, most are frying in a cramped space.
What the Yorkshire Street and Huddersfield 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 Oldham 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 Yorkshire Street 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 Huddersfield 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 Oldham 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 Oldham's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Oldham 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 Yorkshire 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 Yorkshire 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 a Huddersfield Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Oldham
We are under Oldham's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A textile-warehouse conversion cafe in Oldham had fine mill-process dust forming an insulating layer on the extract ducts. We ran advanced HEPA-filtration vacuuming and a chemical scrub to lift it, clearing the mixed-waste fire hazard and getting the system fully operational - to the strict compliance the mill-conversion site needs.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Oldham service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Yorkshire Street 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 Huddersfield Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Oldham 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 Yorkshire Street or Huddersfield Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Oldham has campus catering at Oldham College, production kitchens at the Royal Oldham, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Huddersfield Road and Union 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.
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 Yorkshire Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes - from Yorkshire Street, Huddersfield Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater Manchester.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Yorkshire Street 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 Huddersfield Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
