Question 1

What is TR19 kitchen extraction cleaning?

Accepted Answer

TR19® is the BESA specification for the internal cleanliness of ventilation systems. TR19® kitchen extraction cleaning covers the full grease extract system — canopy, filters, ductwork, extract fans and terminations — removing flammable grease deposits to a measurable, verifiable standard.

Question 2

How often do I need TR19 cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Heavy use (12–16 hours a day) requires cleaning every 3 months, moderate use (6–12 hours) every 6 months, and light use (2–6 hours) every 12 months. We can assess your system and recommend the right schedule for your insurer.

Question 3

Is TR19 cleaning a legal requirement?

Accepted Answer

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, businesses must manage fire risk — and grease-laden ductwork is a major one. Most commercial insurers also make TR19®-compliant cleaning a condition of cover.

Question 4

Do you offer certification?

Accepted Answer

Every clean includes a full TR19®-compliant post-clean report with before and after photographs, wet film thickness test readings and a certificate of compliance accepted by insurers, fire risk assessors and EHOs.
