Salford · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Salford restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Salford
Salford fries across the city - the Chapel Street and MediaCityUK cooklines cook from open to close, and the Eccles and Swinton kitchens run alongside.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Walkden to Monton and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Salford rates around 2,000 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
We degrease exactly what the Walkden and Monton 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 Salford 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 Walkden cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
Canopy inside and out, baffle filters cleaned or replaced, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - that last part loses performance quietly as grease builds on the blades through a hard Monton service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Salford fire risk assessment and insurer have the paperwork 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 Salford's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Salford 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 Walkden 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 Walkden 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 Monton system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Salford
We are under Salford's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A private clinic staff kitchen in Salford had heavy grease built up over the roasting stations. We ran a heavy-duty steam degrease with a medical-grade disinfectant, bringing the extraction unit up to the clinic's hygiene standard, working to its infection-control protocols throughout.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Salford service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Walkden 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 Monton takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Salford 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 Walkden or Monton kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Chapel Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes - from Walkden, Monton and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Greater Manchester.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Salford has campus catering at the University of Salford, production kitchens at Salford Royal Hospital, and studio and outlet kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Walkden and Monton 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 Walkden kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Monton and MediaCityUK 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.
