Extraction Cleaning · Wythenshawe
Wythenshawe's cooklines - town-centre takeaways, hospital canteens, estate cafes - load canopy, filters and fan with grease. We strip and degrease the whole extraction system, canopy to fan, and certify it fire-safe to TR19 Grease.

Try the cost calculatorWythenshawe cooks hard for a town its size. The frying lines of the town-centre parades, the high-volume canteens at the hospital and the cafes across the estates all work their canopies through long days, and grease builds on the filters, up the plenum and into the fan quicker than a wipe-down can keep pace with.
As one of Manchester City Council's 6,422 rated premises, a kitchen here shows a greased extraction the same way any does - it runs hot and smoky, the hood stops capturing, and the caked filters and fan sit as a fire load over the flame. We strip, degrease and certify the whole system to TR19 Grease so the draw returns, cleaning the fan itself 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 Wythenshawe 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 hospital canteen line had loaded its canopy and slowed its fan until the kitchen ran hot at peak. We stripped and soaked the filters, scraped the canopy and duct, and degreased the fan so the extraction pulled properly through the lunch rush again.
A Benchill takeaway'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 for the 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.
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, the hospital, the estates and the suburbs, and across Greater Manchester.
Yes - overnight, early mornings and closed days at no extra charge.

The food units on the Sharston and Roundthorn estates cook round the clock for shift workers, some of the hardest-worked cooklines in Wythenshawe. Left to load, their extraction runs hot and turns into a fire risk over a live flame. We degrease the whole line so it keeps drawing and stays safe through every shift.
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.
