Redhill · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Redhill restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Redhill
Redhill fries hard along Brighton Road, Station Road and London Road, where chip shops, takeaways and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Meadvale, Earlswood and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the hundreds of food premises rated in Redhill, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
What the Meadvale and Earlswood 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 Redhill 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 Meadvale 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 Earlswood 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 Redhill 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 Redhill's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Redhill 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 Meadvale 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 Meadvale 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 Earlswood system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Redhill
We are under Redhill's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A popular village pub in Redhill had grease and carbon built up across the filters and extract duct above the cook line of its carvery. We cleaned the canopy and fan housing back to metal, degreased the housing and refitted the cleaned filters. The canopy and duct came up clean and safe, drawing properly once more, with a signed certificate. Impressed by the results, the unit asked us for a quote on further work.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Redhill service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Meadvale 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 Earlswood takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Redhill 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 Meadvale or Earlswood kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Redhill has the hospital, high-street and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Meadvale and Earlswood are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Meadvale operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Brighton Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Earlswood and Cromwell 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Earlswood takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Local knowledge
Redhill Aerodrome opened as a grass airfield in 1934 and became a fighter base in the Second World War, flying Spitfires and Hurricanes with Canadian and Polish squadrons and standing as an advance airfield for the Dieppe raid of August 1942 before Bristow Helicopters made it their base for forty years. The town's trade turns on food now more than flight, 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.
