Walsall · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Walsall restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Walsall
Walsall fries hard - the balti houses of Caldmore cook from open to close, and the Bridge Street and Park Street cooklines run alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Caldmore, Bloxwich and the outlying strips, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the hardest work it will ever do. With around 2,100 food premises rated across Walsall, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Caldmore and Bloxwich 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 Walsall 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 Caldmore cookline 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 Bloxwich service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Walsall 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 Walsall's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Walsall 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 Caldmore 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 Caldmore 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 Bloxwich system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Walsall
We are under Walsall's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A manufacturing-site canteen in Walsall had a heavy grease coating from intense daily shift catering. We deep-degreased all the extraction components and replaced the saturated air filters, lifting the efficiency and taking the fire risk down - done during a factory shutdown window.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Walsall service.
A clean canopy and fan pull heat and steam off a hard Caldmore 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 Bloxwich takeaways far more than a daytime cafe - and your certificate fixes the interval.

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 Caldmore or Bloxwich kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, Walsall has campus catering at the university, production kitchens at Walsall Manor, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Bloxwich and Park 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 Caldmore and Bloxwich 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 Caldmore kitchen - we clean the full run to TR19 and certify it together.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a Caldmore cookline can count against your score.
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 Bloxwich takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
