Redditch · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Redditch restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Redditch
Redditch fries across the new town - the Church Green and Alcester Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Evesham Street and Kingfisher kitchens run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Headless Cross, Studley Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 550 food premises rated across Redditch, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Headless Cross and Studley 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 Redditch 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 Headless Cross 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 Studley 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 Redditch 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 Redditch's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Redditch 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 Headless Cross 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 Headless Cross 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 Studley Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Redditch
We are under Redditch's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A works canteen in Redditch had a severe buildup of organic waste in the ductwork, badly cutting its ability to clear smoke and fumes. We used targeted high-pressure water and chemical agents to strip the ducting back to its design specification, restoring the performance to the fire-safety standard on an out-of-hours clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Redditch service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Headless Cross 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 Studley Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Redditch 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 Headless Cross or Studley Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Headless Cross and Studley 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.
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 Headless Cross kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 Studley Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Redditch has campus catering at the Heart of Worcestershire College, production kitchens at the Alexandra Hospital, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes - from Headless Cross, Studley Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Worcestershire.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Church Green cookline can count against your score.
