Telford · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Telford restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Telford
Telford fries across its towns - the Town Centre and Southwater cooklines, and the Wellington, Oakengates and Ironbridge kitchens cook from open to close.
The venues change but the grease does not. From Wellington to Madeley and the suburban parades, the takeaways and grill houses set the toughest test any extraction canopy meets. Telford rates around 1,400 food premises, most of them frying hard in a tight footprint.
The kit the Wellington and Madeley cooks work beneath - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is what we degrease. Done right it pulls the way it should, clearing heat and steam, backed by a current TR19 Grease certificate, and it runs cooler too, because a clean Telford fan is not working against 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 Wellington 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 Madeley 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 Telford 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 Telford's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Telford 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 Wellington 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 Wellington 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 Madeley system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Telford
We are under Telford's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A business-park canteen in Telford had general grease built up through the horizontal extract run. We ran a full degrease with high-powered foam and manual scraping, bringing the system back to a bare-metal standard for its safety audit - with minimal disruption to the site.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Telford service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Wellington 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 Madeley takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.

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 Wellington or Madeley kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes - from Wellington, Madeley and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider Shropshire.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Telford has campus catering at the university, production kitchens at the Princess Royal Hospital, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Madeley and Newport 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.
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 Wellington 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 Wellington operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
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 Madeley takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
