Extraction Cleaning · Sleaford
From the the Market Place inns to the trade-estate canteens, Sleaford 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 Sleaford, from the Market Place inns to the trade-estate canteens, the cooklines all meet one test: service after service packing the canopy with grease. The kitchens differ; the grease does not.
Sitting inside a food economy of 1,050 rated premises, a Sleaford 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.
A degreased extraction is not just a compliance tick - your chefs feel it on the line. Restored airflow pulls the heat, smoke and grease-laden air off the cookline instead of leaving it in the kitchen, so the space is cooler to work in and the cooking smells stay out of the dining room.
It is measured and evidenced to TR19 Grease, with the fan the tell: when a Sleaford 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 day nursery in Sleaford, preparing meals for the under-fives, grease had built from the baffles back to the impeller and the canopy no longer pulled the line clear. We cleaned the filters, canopy and baffles, scraped the duct, and degreased the fan housing and impeller working around service. The airflow and the fire safety came back, certified with before-and-after photographs.
At a residential home in Sleaford, cooking daily for its residents, grease had built from the baffles back to the impeller and the canopy no longer pulled the line clear. We cleaned the filters, canopy and baffles, scraped the duct, and degreased the fan housing and impeller on a closed day. The kitchen ran cool again; we left the certificate and photo record for the fire file.
We check the canopy, filters and fan, note the airflow and grease loading, and agree scope around your service.
The cookline and any fire-suppression system are protected before work starts, and the area sheeted.
Filters, canopy, plenum and extract fan degreased - a two-stage clean where the grease is baked on.
You get a dated certificate, before-and-after photographs and a recommended cleaning interval.
It goes by how hard you cook. A heavy line fouls faster than a light one, so TR19 Grease sets the interval by daily cooking hours; we read your grease loading and set a next-due date instead of 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 - the Market Place and the Bass Maltings, the Slea and the Navigation, and the trade units off the A17, and across the wider Lincolnshire.
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.
Sleaford grew around the Slea and the vast Bass Maltings, the largest floor maltings ever built in England, a market town whose Market Place inns and cafes and the A17 trade estates keep it working. 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 Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire.
