Extraction Cleaning · Hale
From the the Ashley Road restaurants to the village bars, Hale 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 calculatorAcross Hale, from the Ashley Road restaurants to the village bars, the cooklines all meet one test: service after service packing the canopy with grease. The kitchens differ; the grease does not.
One of 2,140 rated premises in the area, a Hale cookline packs grease onto its canopy, filters and fan day after day. When it sets, the hood stops pulling at the line, the kitchen goes hot and smoky, and the caked filters and fan become a fire risk over an open flame. We strip and degrease the lot so the airflow and the fire safety return.
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 Hale 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 primary school in Hale, cooking hot lunches at volume through term, the extraction had weakened and the kitchen filled with haze as the fan clogged with grease. We degreased the whole system - filters, canopy, plenum, fan and the accessible duct out of hours. The draw returned, and we certified it with a photo record for the file.
At a country-house hotel in Hale, 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 working around service. The draw and fire protection were back; we left the photos and certificate for the file.
We survey the canopy, filters and fan and gauge the grease loading and how far airflow has dropped.
The line and any suppression system are protected and the area covered before we start.
The whole system is degreased - filters, canopy, plenum and fan - twice over where grease is baked on.
You get the certificate, the before-and-after photographs and a recommended re-clean date.
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 - Ashley Road and the village, the station, and the Hale Barns and Bowdon 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.
Hale runs its smart Ashley Road of boutiques, bars and restaurants in the affluent south of Trafford, a village whose upmarket restaurants, bars and cafes feed the village and the visitors. 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.
