Pontypridd · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Pontypridd restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Pontypridd
Pontypridd fries hard along Taff Street, Mill Street and Broadway, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Mill Street, Broadway and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Pontypridd rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Mill Street and Broadway cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean Pontypridd fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Mill 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 Broadway 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 Pontypridd 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 Pontypridd's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Pontypridd 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 Mill 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 Mill 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 Broadway system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Pontypridd
We are under Pontypridd's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A golf club in Pontypridd had a heavy grease load across the kitchen canopy and fan housing from the frying range. We degreased the plenum and filters to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The extract was left clean, fire-safe and drawing properly once more, with certification for the client's file. We set up a recurring quarterly clean to keep on top of it.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Pontypridd service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Mill 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 Broadway takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Pontypridd 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 Mill Street or Broadway kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Broadway takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Mill Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Pontypridd has the hospital, university 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 Broadway and Market 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. Most venues we clean around Mill Street and Broadway 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 Mill Street, Broadway and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Local knowledge
William Edwards spent ten years and three collapses building the Old Bridge over the Taff, and when it stood in 1756 its single 140-foot arch was reckoned the longest masonry span anywhere. The town lives on food and trade now more than stone, and 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.
