Wednesbury · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Wednesbury restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Wednesbury
Wednesbury fries across the Black Country town - the Great Western Street and Union Street cooklines cook from open to close, and the High Bullen and Market Place kitchens run alongside.
The settings vary, the grease does not. Across Camp Street, Market Place and the suburban strips, the takeaways and grill houses run the single hardest test an extraction canopy faces. Wednesbury rates hundreds of food premises, most of them frying in a tight footprint.
The kit the Camp Street and Market Place 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 Wednesbury 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 Camp Street 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 Market Place service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your Wednesbury 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 Wednesbury's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Wednesbury 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 Camp 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 Camp 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 a Market Place system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Wednesbury
We are under Wednesbury's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A Gallagher retail-park diner in Wednesbury had grease loading the extract fan and letting cooking smells drift across the park. We degreased the fan blades and housing, rebalanced the impeller and restored the pull, clearing the smells and returning the air quality. The site's facilities team signed the fire-safety record.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Wednesbury service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Camp Street cookline sheds its heat and steam faster, so the kitchen keeps cooler and the fan works less to move the same air. Leave it caked and you carry a fire risk, a failed inspection point and an uncomfortable kitchen at once. How often it is due tracks the cooking - the Market Place takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Wednesbury 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 Camp Street or Market Place kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
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 Market Place takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Camp Street and Market Place 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. Beyond restaurants, Wednesbury has campus catering at the local college, retail-park kitchens at the Gallagher Retail Park, and centre and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Yes - from Camp Street, Market Place and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Midlands.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Market Place and High Bullen 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.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Camp Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
