Extraction Cleaning · Cheadle
From the the High Street cafes to the village pubs, Cheadle cooks over open flame - and a greased-up canopy, filter and fan pull badly, run hot and add fire risk. We strip and degrease the whole system, canopy to fan, and certify it fire-safe.

Try the cost calculatorCheadle cooks hard, and from the High Street cafes to the village pubs every cookline faces the same test - service after service loading its canopy with grease. The settings vary; the grease does not.
Sitting inside a food economy of 2,732 rated premises, a Cheadle cookline loads its canopy, filters and fan steadily. Once the grease sets, the hood stops capturing at the line, the kitchen turns hot and smoky, and the caked filters and fan sit as a fire risk over a live flame. We strip and degrease the whole system so the airflow - and the fire safety - come back.
Swapping filters treats the symptom; grease in the canopy, plenum and fan is what actually strangles the airflow. Clean the lot together and the cookline captures again, the kitchen runs cooler, and the fire risk over a live line comes down with it.
It is measured and evidenced to TR19 Grease, with the fan the tell: when a Cheadle kitchen goes hot and smoky, it is usually grease unbalancing the impeller, not the filters.
The standard on a commercial canopy. We strip, soak and scrape them back, and flag any that are warped or missing - the gap a warped filter leaves lets grease straight into the plenum.
Common on lighter lines and older canopies, and quick to clog solid. We clean what you run and advise where a baffle filter would serve a heavy frying line better.
On enclosed or recirculating systems. We service the stages, check the seals and tell you what needs replacing rather than cleaning.
Many cooklines carry a wet-chemical system built into the canopy. We degrease the filters, canopy and fan without disturbing the nozzles or detection - so you keep both defences.
Where a gas interlock ties the cookline to the extract, we work around it and leave it functioning, so the line cannot fire without the extraction running.
We check and clear accessible fire dampers in the run, so a damper that has to close in a fire is not seized solid with grease.
Typical jobs we handle, by sector and area - representative of the work we do, not named clients.
At a country-house hotel in Cheadle, cooking for weddings and guests, the extraction had weakened and the kitchen filled with haze as the fan clogged with grease. We took the canopy, filters and plenum back to clean metal and degreased the fan and the accessible run between services. The airflow and the fire safety came back, certified with before-and-after photographs.
At a residential home in Cheadle, cooking daily for its residents, the extraction had weakened and the kitchen filled with haze as the fan clogged with grease. We washed down the canopy and filters, degreased the plenum and fan, and cleaned the duct as far as access allowed on a closed day. The draw returned, and we certified it with a photo record for the file.
We check the canopy, filters and fan, gauge the grease loading and how far the pull has dropped, and agree the scope.
The cookline and any fire-suppression system are protected and the area sheeted before work starts.
Filters, canopy, plenum and fan are degreased end to end - twice over where the grease has baked on hard.
You get a dated certificate, before-and-after photographs and a recommended cleaning interval.
On cooking hours. The heavier the line the sooner it needs doing - TR19 Grease bases the interval on daily cooking hours, so we assess your loading and put a next-due date on it rather than guess.
The whole system - filters, canopy, plenum, fan housing and impeller, and the accessible duct. Grease on the fan is usually what has actually killed the airflow, so filters alone rarely fix a hot, smoky kitchen.
No. We degrease around the nozzles and detection of a wet-chemical system without disturbing them, so both the extraction and the suppression are left working.
Yes - the High Street and the village, St Mary's church, and the Cheadle Royal and Gatley edges, and across the wider Greater Manchester.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings and closed days, at no extra charge for out-of-hours work, so the kitchen is ready for the next service.

Cheadle keeps its old village High Street and the medieval church of St Mary west of Stockport, a township whose High Street cafes, pubs and restaurants feed the area. Left in place, that grease feeds flame and starves airflow. We work around service so the extraction is clean, certified and pulling properly before the next service.
We have stripped, degreased and certified commercial extraction to TR19 Grease since 2001, across Greater Manchester and the UK. On a hard-frying line the job is the same every time: the whole system taken back, the fan balanced, and a certificate that satisfies your insurer and fire risk assessor.
Send us your cookline and frying hours and we will survey, strip, degrease and certify - across Greater Manchester.
