Royton · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Royton restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Royton
Royton fries hard along Rochdale Road, Market Street and out at Heyside, where the kebab houses, Italian kitchens, chip shops and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Heyside, Luzley Brook and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Royton rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Heyside and Luzley Brook cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean Royton fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Heyside 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 Luzley Brook 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 Royton 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 Royton's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Royton 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 Heyside 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 Heyside 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 Luzley Brook system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Royton
We are under Royton's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
The much-loved bakery in Royton had thick grease through the extract canopy and fan housing, choking the pull over the fryers. We lifted the filters out to soak, hand-scraped the canopy and the first bend of the duct, and degreased right through to the extract fan. It passed its grease-depth check and the kitchen cleared smoke quickly again. The paperwork followed by email once we'd finished up, and they set up a recurring quarterly clean.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Royton service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Heyside cookline faster, so the kitchen sits cooler and the fan draws less to shift the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed inspection point and a comfort problem all at once. How often it is needed follows how hard you cook - the Luzley Brook takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

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 Heyside or Luzley Brook 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 Heyside kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Heyside operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Royton has the town-centre, pub and care-home kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Heyside and Luzley Brook 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 Sandy Lane cookline can count against your score.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Luzley Brook and Dogford 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.
Local knowledge
Above the town, Tandle Hill Country Park spreads across the old beacon hill the mill families walked to for air, its woodland planted after the First World War as a memorial to the fallen. Royton trades on food now more than cotton, and its 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.
