Rothwell · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Rothwell restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Rothwell
Rothwell fries hard along Commercial Street, Marsh Street and Butcher Lane, where chip shops, takeaways and pub kitchens run their extraction flat out through every service.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Oulton, Woodlesford 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 Rothwell, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
The kit the Oulton and Woodlesford 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 Rothwell 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 Oulton 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 Woodlesford service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Rothwell 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 Rothwell's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Rothwell 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 Oulton 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 Oulton 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 Woodlesford system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Rothwell
We are under Rothwell's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A refurbished village pub carvery in Rothwell had thick grease built up through the canopy and first bend of the duct, cutting the pull over the chargrill. We cleaned the canopy and fan housing back to metal, degreased the housing and refitted the filters once clean. The extract was left clean and fire-safe, the draw across the canopy much improved, with a signed certificate. We scheduled it for the weekly closed day when the pub was shut.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Rothwell service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Oulton 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 Woodlesford takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Rothwell 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 Oulton or Woodlesford kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Rothwell has the hotel, care-home and town-centre kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
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 Woodlesford takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes - from Oulton, Woodlesford and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Yorkshire.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence an Oulton operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Woodlesford and Marsh 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. Most venues we clean around Oulton and Woodlesford 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
The Aire and Calder Navigation runs past Woodlesford Lock at the town's northern edge, and for a century and a half it carried Rothwell Haigh coal downstream in the compartment boats they called Tom Puddings, hoisted and tipped by hydraulic staithes. The town's trade turns on food now more than coal, and its busy kitchens coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place that grease feeds flame and starves airflow, the same way a silted channel chokes a boat. So we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
