Frequently asked questions
TR19 duct cleaning & compliance
What you need to know about certification and reports.
View questions
- What is TR19 and why does it matter?
- TR19 is the industry guidance for cleaning kitchen extraction systems. Regular cleaning reduces fire risk, maintains airflow, and helps you demonstrate compliance during inspections. We provide documentation after each visit where required.
- Do you issue certificates and reports?
- Yes. After cleaning we can provide a TR19-compliant report and certification for your records or insurers, along with before-and-after evidence of the work completed.
- How often should extraction systems be cleaned?
- Frequency depends on usage, cooking volume, and grease production. Many commercial kitchens schedule quarterly or bi-annual deep cleans; we can advise after an initial site visit.
