Tipton · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Tipton restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Tipton
Tipton fries hard along Owen Street, Great Bridge and Toll End Road, where chip shops, kebab houses, balti places and cafes run their extraction flat out through every service.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Great Bridge, Toll End Road and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With hundreds of food premises rated across Tipton, most are frying in a cramped space.
What the Great Bridge and Toll End Road cooks labour under - canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan - is exactly what we degrease. Cleaned right it draws as it was meant to, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate and running cooler, since a clean Tipton fan no longer battles a greased one to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Great Bridge 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 Toll End Road service. The work meets the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Tipton 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 Tipton's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Tipton 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 Great Bridge 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 Great Bridge 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 Toll End Road system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Tipton
We are under Tipton's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A traditional burger bar in Tipton had baked-on grease across its filters and extract duct, well past a safe level over the frying range. We soaked the filters, scraped the canopy, filters and plenum and washed the duct down to the fan. The system was cleaned to TR19 standard with airflow over the range restored, and we left before-and-after images and a certificate. The job was timed for the school holidays while the kitchen was quiet.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Tipton service.
A clean canopy and fan clear the heat and steam off a hard Great Bridge 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 inspection point and a comfort problem at once. Frequency tracks how hard you cook - the Toll End Road takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and your certificate sets the interval.
Inspect the Tipton 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 Great Bridge or Toll End Road kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Toll End Road 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 - from Great Bridge, Toll End Road and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Midlands.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Great Bridge operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Great Bridge and Toll End Road 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Toll End Road takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
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 Great Bridge kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
Local knowledge
William Perry, the Tipton Slasher, was the bare-knuckle heavyweight champion of England through the 1850s, and ran his affairs from the Fountain Inn on Owen Street; a bronze of him has stood in Coronation Gardens since 1993. The town that cheered its fighters now packs its food streets with kitchens that coat their canopies and extract systems in grease every service. Left in place it feeds flame and starves airflow. So we strip, degrease and certify extraction from the filter to the fan to the TR19 grease standard.
