Extraction Cleaning · Middleton
Middleton's cooklines - town-centre restaurants, Long Street fryers, Stakehill canteens - load canopy, filters and fan with grease. We strip and degrease the whole system, canopy to fan, and certify it fire-safe to TR19 Grease.
Tell us about the canopy, filters and ducting in your Middleton kitchen and get a guide price straight away - no measuring, no site visit, no waiting.

The restaurants of the centre, the takeaways of Long Street and the canteens of the Stakehill estate all work their canopies hard, and grease loads the filters, the plenum and the fan faster than a wipe-down can keep pace with.
Among Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council's 1,909 rated premises, a greased extraction leaves a kitchen hot and smoky, the hood no longer capturing while the caked filters and fan build a fire load over the flame. We strip, degrease and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease so the draw returns, cleaning the greased fan where the airflow has already gone.
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 Middleton 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.
Real jobs, described by sector and area - never by a client's name.
A Long Street fish bar had run hot and heavy-aired for weeks. The filters were caked and the roof fan greased and slow; we stripped and soaked the filters, scraped canopy and duct, and degreased the fan so it drew cleanly and safely again.
A Stakehill canteen's extraction had gone weak - grease had reached the impeller. We cleaned the fan with the whole system so the airflow that came back was real, and left a certificate and photographs.
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.
By cooking volume - TR19 Grease sets the interval by daily cooking hours, and we set a next-due date to your grease loading.
The whole system - filters, canopy, plenum, fan and impeller, and the accessible duct. The greased fan is usually the real cause of weak airflow.
No - we degrease around a wet-chemical system's nozzles and detection without disturbing them.
Yes - the town centre, Long Street and the Stakehill estate, and across Greater Manchester.
Yes - overnight, early mornings and closed days at no extra charge.

The takeaways of Long Street work their canopies through the evening rush, the hardest-loaded cooklines in the town. Left to build, that grease turns the kitchen hot and becomes a fire risk over the fryers. We degrease the whole line so the extraction holds the cookline through 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.
