Ossett · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Ossett restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Ossett
Ossett fries hard along Wesley Street, Bank Street and out at Gawthorpe and Chickenley, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Gawthorpe, Bank 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 Ossett, most are frying in a cramped space.
We degrease the part of the system the Gawthorpe and Bank 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 Ossett 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 Gawthorpe 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 Bank Street 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 Ossett 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 Ossett's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
An Ossett 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 Gawthorpe 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 Gawthorpe 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 Bank Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Ossett
We are under Ossett's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
An established Ossett fish and chip shop had a heavy grease load on the canopy and fan housing from the frying range. I lifted the filters for a soak, hand-scraped the filters and extract duct and degreased through to the extract fan. Grease was cleared to TR19 and the kitchen was clearing smoke quickly again. I documented it in full and gave the manager a few tips on keeping things clear between visits.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Ossett service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Gawthorpe 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 Bank Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Ossett 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 Gawthorpe or Bank Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Ossett has the market-town, care-home and pub 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 Dale 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 Gawthorpe operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Bank Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes - from Gawthorpe, Bank Street and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Yorkshire.
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 Gawthorpe kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
Each Easter Monday the neighbouring village of Gawthorpe stages the World Coal Carrying Championships, runners hauling hundredweight sacks up the hill in a tradition that draws crowds back into Ossett's pubs and kitchens. Those kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service, and 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. It is the same care Ossett's mills once owed their dusty rag-lofts, carried into the kitchens of a market town that still knows how to feed a crowd.
