Ripley · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Ripley restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Ripley
Ripley fries hard around Codnor, Cromford Road and the town-centre chip shops and takeaways, where fryers and grills run their extraction flat out through every service.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Codnor, Cromford Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Ripley, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Codnor and Cromford 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 Ripley 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 Codnor 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 Cromford 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 Ripley 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 Ripley's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Ripley 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 Codnor 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 Codnor 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 Cromford Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Ripley
We are under Ripley's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
Thick grease had collected through the canopy and first bend of the duct above the griddle at a popular Ripley golf club. We removed the filters for a soak, hand-scraped the canopy and plenum and degreased through to the extract fan. The canopy cleared its grease-depth check and airflow over the range was restored. We fitted the visit around the lunch rush so customers weren't disturbed, and left comparison images with a certificate.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Ripley service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Codnor 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 Cromford Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Ripley canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 Codnor or Cromford Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Codnor operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Codnor and Cromford 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.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Grosvenor Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Cromford Road and Oxford 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. Beyond restaurants, Ripley has the pub, care-home and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality 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 Codnor kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
At Butterley the preserved Midland Railway runs steam trains beside the Cromford Canal, whose Butterley Tunnel the company drove nearly two miles through the hillside in the 1790s to carry its iron and coal. Where the town once shifted freight it now feeds visitors and locals alike, and busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place that grease feeds flame and starves airflow. We strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
