Stourbridge · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Stourbridge restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Stourbridge
Stourbridge fries across the glass town - the Market Street and High Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the Coventry Street and Wollaston kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Wollaston, Amblecote 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 Stourbridge, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease the part of the system the Wollaston and Amblecote 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 Stourbridge 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 Wollaston 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 Amblecote service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Stourbridge 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 Stourbridge's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Stourbridge 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 Wollaston 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 Wollaston 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 Amblecote system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Stourbridge
We are under Stourbridge's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Ryemarket centre cafe in Stourbridge had grease on the extract intake near the grill leaving a haze over the counter. We ran a hot chemical flush through the plenum, sanitised the intake chamber and reset the fan, restoring a clear extraction and issuing a fresh fire-safety certificate. The centre took a six-monthly service.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Stourbridge service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Wollaston 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 Amblecote takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.
Inspect the Stourbridge 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 Wollaston or Amblecote kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Amblecote and High 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Amblecote takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Wollaston operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Market Street cookline can count against your score.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Stourbridge has campus catering at Halesowen College, catering at the Corbett Outpatient Centre, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes - from Wollaston, Amblecote and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Midlands.
