Extraction Cleaning · Ramsbottom
From the the Bridge Street restaurants to the Market Place cafes, Ramsbottom 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 calculatorFrom the Bridge Street restaurants to the Market Place cafes, Ramsbottom runs its cooklines hard, and each one faces the same thing - grease building on the canopy service after service. The settings change; the grease does not.
Sitting inside a food economy of 1,210 rated premises, a Ramsbottom 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 Ramsbottom 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 secondary school in Ramsbottom, feeding hundreds at lunch through term, the extract had lost its pull, with grease set hard on the baffles, the plenum and the fan. We cleared the filters and canopy, scraped back the plenum and accessible run, and degreased the impeller out of hours. The kitchen ran cool again; we left the certificate and photo record for the fire file.
At a pub in Ramsbottom, serving food through the week, grease had built from the baffles back to the impeller and the canopy no longer pulled the line clear. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and accessible duct back, and degreased the plenum and fan across a quiet morning. The airflow and the fire safety came back, certified with before-and-after 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. A heavy line needs cleaning more often than a light one - TR19 Grease sets the interval by daily cooking hours, and we assess your grease loading and set a next-due date rather than guessing.
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 - Bridge Street and the Market Place, the East Lancashire Railway, and the Peel Tower and Irwell 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.
Ramsbottom gathers on the Irwell below Peel Tower around Bridge Street and the heritage East Lancashire Railway, a market town of breweries, delis and restaurants, home of the Chocolate Festival, whose restaurants and cafes feed the town 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.
