Kitchen extract cleaning in Bradford
Bradford's reputation for curry is earned in kitchens that run hot for long hours. Great Horton Road, Leeds Road, Oak Lane in Manningham and Thornton Road are lined with restaurants, sweet centres and grill houses where tandoors, karahi burners and fryers are lit from midday until well after midnight. North Parade has become the independent quarter for bars and small-plate kitchens, Little Germany and City Park host the hotels and event venues, and the new Darley Street Market has put a large food hall in the middle of the city. Saltaire's Salts Mill, Shipley, Bingley and Ilkley add a different mix of cafes, gastropubs and hotels along the Aire valley, while Keighley has its own busy takeaway trade.
Tandoor and karahi cooking produces some of the heaviest grease loads a contractor will see, so most of the Great Horton Road and Leeds Road kitchens fall into the three-monthly band under TR19 Grease. Hotel and pub kitchens around City Park are usually moderate at six months; a school, care-home or university kitchen may be light use at twelve. Bradford Royal Infirmary and the University of Bradford both run large catering operations. We arrange TR19 cleans for takeaways and restaurants across the district, with the certificate and photo report issued on completion.
Compliance in Bradford
City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council's environmental health team inspects food premises across Bradford, Keighley, Shipley and Ilkley, and its officers are used to asking curry-house operators for extract-cleaning records because they know how fast grease accumulates behind a tandoor. West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers the district and its protection officers take a particular interest in restaurants in converted terraces and mills, where ductwork runs past flats or through timber floors. After a fire, loss adjusters look for the most recent TR19 certificate with grease-depth readings and photographs; without it, insurers can argue that a cleaning condition in the policy was breached. Ramadan and Eid trading spikes are worth factoring into your interval as well.
How it works for a Bradford kitchen
Tell us where the kitchen is and what it cooks, and we will match you with a contractor who covers Bradford and the Aire valley and can quote within one working day. Late-night restaurants are usually cleaned after last orders, and Sunday mornings are popular for the busiest sites. The specialist we assign cleans the canopy, filters, ductwork and fan to TR19 Grease, then issues the certificate and photo report, and we note the next due date and remind you ahead of time.

Frequently asked questions
Our restaurant on Great Horton Road runs a tandoor and two karahi ranges. Is three-monthly cleaning really necessary?
For that style of cooking, almost always. Tandoors and karahi burners throw off grease vapour at a rate that few other kitchens match, and it condenses in the first few metres of duct within weeks. TR19 Grease places kitchens cooking twelve to sixteen hours a day in the heavy-use band at three months, and the contractor's grease-depth readings on the first visit will confirm whether that applies to you.
Do you cover Keighley, Bingley and Ilkley as well as Bradford itself?
Yes. The contractors we work with cover the whole of the Bradford district, from Keighley and Haworth in the west to Ilkley and the Wharfe valley in the north, as well as Shipley, Saltaire and Bingley. Travel is priced into the quote from the start, so a pub kitchen in Ilkley is quoted on the same basis as a takeaway in Manningham.
What paperwork do I get to show my insurer after the clean?
You receive a TR19 Grease certificate, a report showing grease-thickness readings taken before and after at set points along the system, dated photographs of the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, a note of any section that could not be accessed and why, and a next-due date. That bundle is what insurers, loss adjusters and Bradford's environmental health officers expect to see.
