Pudsey · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Pudsey restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Pudsey
Pudsey fries hard along Lowtown and Bradford Road, where the Wetherby Whaler, chip shops, curry houses and takeaways run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Lowtown, Bradford Road and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Pudsey rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
What the Lowtown and Bradford 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 Pudsey 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 Lowtown cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Bradford Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Pudsey fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork 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 Pudsey's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Pudsey 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 Lowtown 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 Lowtown 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 Bradford Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Pudsey
We are under Pudsey's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A well-known village pub in Pudsey had the canopy and first bend of its carvery extract caked in grease from steady service on the range. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the plenum back and degreased the accessible duct through to the fan. Cleaned to the TR19 standard, the system was drawing properly again, with before-and-after images and a certificate. Access was tight, so we loaded in through the back to reach the far end.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Pudsey service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Lowtown cookline faster, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it greased and you have a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen together. Frequency follows the cooking load - the Bradford Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 Lowtown or Bradford 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 Lowtown kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Pudsey has the school, pub and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Lowtown operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes - from Lowtown, Bradford Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Yorkshire.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Bradford Road and Robin 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.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Lowtown and Bradford 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.
Local knowledge
Pudsey turned out a remarkable run of Yorkshire and England cricketers - Herbert Sutcliffe, Sir Len Hutton, born in the Moravian village of Fulneck in 1916, and Ray Illingworth all learned the game at clubs like Pudsey St Lawrence and Pudsey Congs. The crowds those matches still draw eat the fish and chips and takeaway curry the town has fried for generations. Busy 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.
