Wolverhampton · TR19 Grease
We degrease the canopy, baffle filters and extractor fan for Wolverhampton restaurants, takeaways and pubs - so the system pulls properly, runs cooler and holds a current TR19 certificate.
Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton fries hard - the curry houses of Cleveland Street cook from open to close, and the takeaway strips of Wednesfield and Penn Road run their cooklines alongside.
Different kitchens, same grease. Around Cleveland Street, Wednesfield 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 Wolverhampton, most are frying in a cramped space.
The kit the Cleveland Street and Wednesfield 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 Wolverhampton 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 Cleveland Street cookline that does the work and shows the grease first.
The canopy is stripped inside and out, the baffle filters cleaned or renewed, and the extractor fan and housing degreased - it is the fan that slips quietly as grease weighs its blades through a hard Wednesfield service. All of it is taken to the TR19 Grease standard, with before-and-after evidence and a certificate, so the system draws as designed and your Wolverhampton fire risk assessment and insurer hold the record they expect.
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 Wolverhampton's residential streets; cleaned or changed so the downstream stages are not overwhelmed.
Fire
A Wolverhampton 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 Cleveland 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 Cleveland 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 Wednesfield system that a quick canopy wipe misses.
On the ground in Wolverhampton
We are under Wolverhampton's canopies every week. Real jobs, not stock shots.
A high-volume catering kitchen in Wolverhampton had heavy grease built up through the plenum chamber and canopy, and the airflow was clearly restricted. We mechanically scraped the internal duct walls to get the hardened deposits off, followed with an enzymatic chemical wash and a final pressure rinse. The post-clean inspection came back with the grease gone and the system compliant again - it took two visits to do it properly.
Why it pays
Extraction cleaning is a fire-risk job first - but it pays back every Wolverhampton service.
Clear the canopy and fan of grease and a hard Cleveland 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 Wednesfield takeaways well beyond a daytime cafe - and your certificate names the next date.
Inspect the Wolverhampton 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 Cleveland Street or Wednesfield kitchen sits in a tighter band than a daytime cafe.
Yes. Most venues we clean around Cleveland Street and Wednesfield 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. The takeaways and grill houses around Wednesfield and Queen 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. Where a filter is warped, corroded or a mesh type that keeps passing grease, we say so and swap it - common on the older Wednesfield 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 Cleveland Street 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 Cleveland Street cookline can count against your score.
Every clean finishes with a dated TR19 certificate, before-and-after photographs and a condition report - the evidence a Cleveland Street operator's insurer or fire risk assessor expects to see.
