Kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent is six towns rather than one, and its kitchens are scattered accordingly. Hanley is the commercial centre, with Piccadilly, Trinity Street and the Cultural Quarter around the Regent Theatre holding the restaurants and bars, and The Potteries Centre the chain cafes; Festival Park on the old Garden Festival site groups drive-throughs and national restaurants around Waterworld and the cinema. Burslem, Tunstall, Longton, Fenton and Stoke town each keep their own high street of pubs, cafes and takeaways, with oatcake shops a local speciality, and Trentham Estate to the south has a shopping village of restaurants and cafes beside the gardens. Newcastle-under-Lyme, though a separate borough, shares the same trade and the same contractors.
The Royal Stoke University Hospital at Hartshill is one of the largest in the region, Staffordshire University and Keele add student catering, the bet365 Stadium and Vale Park run matchday kitchens, and the pottery firms in Longton and Barlaston have works canteens. Under TR19 the late takeaways of Hanley and Longton are due every three months, a Trentham restaurant or Festival Park diner is six-monthly, and a light-use museum cafe at Gladstone or Middleport is annual. We arrange TR19 kitchen extract cleaning for takeaways, restaurants and institutional kitchens across the Potteries.
Compliance in Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent City Council is the unitary authority and its environmental health officers inspect food premises across all six towns, while Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service enforces fire safety and knows the terraced takeaways of Hanley, Longton and Tunstall, where ductwork runs past flats and through old roof voids. Insurers writing policies for Potteries hospitality businesses generally require cleaning at the TR19 interval, and a loss adjuster handling a duct-fire claim will ask for the certificate, the grease readings and the photographs before liability is considered. Hospital, university and stadium kitchens are audited by their own estates teams and insurers as well, and a dated report with photographs is the simplest evidence to hand over.

Frequently asked questions
Does an oatcake shop with a hotplate need a TR19 clean?
If there is a canopy and extract over the hotplate, yes, though the grease load is usually light and the interval may be twelve months. Where the shop also fries bacon and sausages for fillings through the morning, the survey may put it into the six-month band. The contractor measures grease depth rather than guessing.
How quickly can a Hanley takeaway be cleaned if the fire service has visited?
Tell us when you enquire and the contractor will treat it as a priority. Quotes for a single-canopy takeaway usually come back the same day, the clean can often be done within the week, and the certificate and photo report are issued on completion so you have something to show the inspecting officer straight away.
We have pubs in Stoke, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Leek. Can they be on one schedule?
Yes. The contractors we assign cover the Potteries, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the Staffordshire Moorlands, and a small pub group is easily put on one rotation with the certificates issued in the same window. Kitchens with different cooking loads can sit on different intervals within the same arrangement.
