What is TR19 and do I need it?

TR19 Grease is the industry standard for cleaning kitchen extract systems. Most commercial insurers require evidence of compliant cleaning, and without it a fire claim can be refused.

How often should a commercial kitchen be cleaned?

Heavy-use kitchens are usually six-monthly, moderate use annually. We recommend a frequency after survey based on measured grease deposit.

Will you need to close the kitchen?

No. Most cleans are done overnight or on a closed day, and the kitchen is handed back food-safe and ready for service.

What if the ductwork cannot be accessed?

We install inspection hatches at compliant intervals so the whole run can be cleaned and evidenced now and in future.

Do you clean domestic kitchens too?

Yes — full domestic deep cleans including ovens, extractors, units and floors, often as part of an end-of-tenancy or post-incident clean.

What it is

What is kitchen deep cleaning?

Kitchen deep cleaning is the full degrease and sanitisation of a kitchen — not just the visible surfaces, but the extraction canopy, filters, ductwork, fan housing, behind and under equipment, and the floor drainage.

Survey
Inspect extraction, measure grease deposit, check access hatches and agree a working window.
02
Protect & strip
Sheet up equipment and floors, remove filters, open access panels and dismantle what needs cleaning off-site.
03
Degrease
Hand-scrape and chemically degrease canopies, ducts, fans, equipment, walls and floors, then rinse and sanitise.

Certify
Reassemble, verify cleanliness, and issue a photographic report with a TR19 certificate.
