Sheffield · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Sheffield restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Sheffield
Sheffield fries across the board - the pubs and grill houses, the three-mile run of Ecclesall Road, the takeaways of London Road, and the packed cooklines of the Cutlery Works food hall in Kelham Island.
With more than 4,800 rated food premises, most cooking in a tight footprint, the char-grills, woks and fryers put a hard load on the canopy, its baffle filters and the fan. Frying from open to close is the single hardest test an extraction system faces.
We degrease the part of the system the Ecclesall Road and Kelham Island cooks work under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Done properly it pulls the way it was designed to, clearing heat and steam, holding a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, because a clean fan is not fighting a greased one to move the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a busy Kelham Island char-grill 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 Ecclesall Road service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Sheffield 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 Sheffield's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Sheffield 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 Ecclesall Road line is exactly what they exist to fight. We clean around them without disturbing the system.
Where the gas shuts off if extraction fails, we work without tripping it - and flag it if it is not behaving.
Checked for grease that would stop them closing - a quiet failure point a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Sheffield
We are under Sheffield's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Sheffield pub kitchen had char-grill smoke grease clogging the whole horizontal extract run. We scraped and degreased the run, cleaned the canopy filters and checked the ductwork was sound end to end. It came back decarbonised and pulling properly - and we kept to non-toxic agents throughout, with food about.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Sheffield service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and smoke off a hard Ecclesall Road cookline faster, so the kitchen runs cooler and the fan draws less to move the same air. A greased system is a fire risk, a failed Sheffield City Council inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the char-grill pubs and food-hall pitches need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Sheffield 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 char-grill pub or a busy food-hall pitch 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 Kelham Island operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean along Ecclesall Road and in the Cutlery Works are busy through the evening, so we work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - from Kelham Island, Ecclesall Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider South Yorkshire region.
Yes. Food-hall pitches like the Cutlery Works units and pub char-grill kitchens run a canopy, filters and a fan and often carry a heavy grease load. We clean and certify them the same way as a full restaurant system.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over an Ecclesall Road cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Sheffield has campus catering at two universities, production kitchens at the teaching hospitals and arena and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
