Prudhoe · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Prudhoe restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Prudhoe
Prudhoe fries hard along Front Street and out towards Ovingham and Eltringham, where the chip shops, kebab houses and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Ovingham to Eltringham and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Prudhoe rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Ovingham and Eltringham 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 Prudhoe 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 Ovingham cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
We strip and degrease the canopy inside and out, clean or replace the baffle filters, and degrease the extractor fan and its housing - the part that quietly loses performance as grease loads the blades over a hard Eltringham service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Prudhoe fire risk assessment and insurer have the record they ask for.
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 Prudhoe's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Prudhoe 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 Ovingham 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 an Ovingham 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 Eltringham system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Prudhoe
We are under Prudhoe's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
Grease and carbon had built up across the canopy and first bend of the duct above the cook line at a refurbished Prudhoe kebab shop. I degreased the canopy and fan housing to bare metal, cleaned the fan and reset the filters. The canopy passed its grease-depth check with much better draw, and I emailed the paperwork over. It was scheduled for a Monday when the place was closed.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Prudhoe service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Ovingham 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 Eltringham takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Prudhoe 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 Ovingham or Eltringham kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Ovingham, Eltringham and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Northumberland.
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 Ovingham kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Ovingham and Eltringham 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. The takeaways and grill houses around Eltringham and Highfield Lane 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Castle Road 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 Eltringham takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Local knowledge
Above Low Prudhoe rise the Spetchells, the long artificial chalk hills left behind by the ICI ammonia and fertiliser works, now colonised by chalk-loving plants found almost nowhere else in the region. The town's trade turns on food and manufacturing now, 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.
