Skipton · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Skipton restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Skipton
Skipton fries hard, from the fryers of Swadford Street and Sheep Street to the takeaways off Newmarket Street.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Newmarket Street, Otley Street and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Skipton rates dozens of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
We degrease the part of the system the Newmarket Street and Otley Street 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 Skipton 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 hard-frying Newmarket Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Otley Street service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Skipton fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
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 Skipton's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Skipton 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 Newmarket Street 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 Newmarket Street 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 an Otley Street system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Skipton
We are under Skipton's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A nursery kitchen in Skipton had baked-on grease over the canopy, filters and plenum, well past a safe level above the range. We cleaned the canopy and first bend of the duct back to bare metal, degreased the fan housing and refitted the cleaned filters, clearing the system to the TR19 Grease standard with a much better draw across the canopy. We left a full photo report and certificate.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Skipton service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Newmarket Street 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 Otley Street takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the Skipton 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 Newmarket Street or Otley Street kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Skipton has the busy market-town kitchens we clean and certify - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Otley Street and Sheep 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 Newmarket Street and Otley Street 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 Newmarket Street kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
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 Otley Street takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a High Street cookline can count against your score.
Local knowledge
The name Skipton comes from the Anglo-Saxon sceap-tun, the sheep town, and wool built the place long before tourism did, feeding mills strung along the canal. Where fleeces once greased the machinery, today it is airborne fat that coats canopies and extract ducts above the fryers. We strip grease from canopy, plenum and duct to TR19 Grease, cutting the fire load that builds over every service above a busy range.
