West Bromwich · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for West Bromwich restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
West Bromwich
West Bromwich fries across the town - the High Street and New Square cooklines cook from open to close, and the Bearwood Road and Great Bridge kitchens run alongside.
The kitchens differ, the grease is the same. Along Bearwood Road, Great Bridge and the parades beyond, the grill houses and takeaways put an extraction canopy through the roughest work it will ever take. Of the around 2,600 food premises rated in West Bromwich, most are frying in a cramped back kitchen.
We degrease exactly what the Bearwood Road and Great Bridge cooks stand under - the canopy, the baffle filters and the extractor fan. Cleaned properly the system draws as designed, clearing heat and steam, carrying a current TR19 Grease certificate, and running cooler, since a clean West Bromwich fan is not straining against grease to shift the same air.
The system
Extraction cleaning is the accessible heart of the system - the kit above a hard-frying Bearwood Road 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 Great Bridge service. Cleaned to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system pulls properly and your West Bromwich 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 West Bromwich's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A West Bromwich 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 Bearwood Road 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 Bearwood Road 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 Great Bridge system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in West Bromwich
We are under West Bromwich's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A police-station staff kitchen in West Bromwich had grease saturating the terminal extract points and starting to restrict the ventilation throughput. We ran a multi-pass chemical degrease to fully emulsify and remove the hardened grease, passing the safety audit, with a certified post-clean record for the station's health-and-safety register.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every West Bromwich service.
With the canopy and fan clean, heat and steam clear off a hard Bearwood Road 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 Great Bridge takeaways need it more often than a daytime cafe - and the certificate sets the next date.
Inspect the West Bromwich canopy, filters and fan, agree scope and frequency.

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 Bearwood Road or Great Bridge kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
It can. An inspection covers the physical condition of the premises, ventilation included, so a grease-laden canopy or fan over a High Street 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 Great Bridge takeaway canopies that have run hot for years.
Yes. The takeaways and grill houses around Great Bridge and Queens Square 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 Bearwood Road, Great Bridge and the city centre out to the suburbs, and across the wider West Midlands.
Yes. Beyond restaurants, West Bromwich has campus catering at Sandwell College, production kitchens at Sandwell General Hospital, and stadium and hotel kitchens - high-volume systems we clean and certify alongside the hospitality work.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Bearwood Road operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
