Penarth · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Penarth restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Penarth
Penarth fries hard along Windsor Road, Glebe Street, Plassey Street and Albert Road, and out on the Esplanade, where cafes, chip shops and takeaways run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Plassey Street, Albert Road and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Penarth rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
The kit the Plassey Street and Albert Road cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Penarth fan is not working against 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 Plassey Street 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 Albert Road 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 Penarth 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 Penarth's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Penarth 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 Plassey 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 Plassey 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 an Albert Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Penarth
We are under Penarth's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A small care home in Penarth had its canopy, filters and plenum caked in grease from steady service on the range. We removed the filters for a soak, hand-scraped the canopy, filters and plenum, and degreased through to the extract fan. The system was cleaned to TR19 and drawing properly once more, backed by a full photo report and certificate. We handed the head chef a short photo report for their health and safety folder.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Penarth service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Plassey Street 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 Albert Road takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Penarth 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 Plassey Street or Albert Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Plassey Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Plassey Street and Albert 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. Beyond restaurants, Penarth has the hospital, seafront and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Albert Road and Stanwell 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.
Yes - from Plassey Street, Albert Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Vale of Glamorgan.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Plassey Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Local knowledge
On 13 May 1897 Guglielmo Marconi, helped by Post Office engineer George Kemp, sent the first wireless signals across open sea from Lavernock Point, just south of Penarth, to Flat Holm island three miles offshore. The town lives on visitors and food now more than on that pioneering science, and its 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.
