TR19 Certification: The Gold Standard in Kitchen Ventilation Hygiene
Duct Cleaning TipTop Ltd adheres to the TR19 standard, developed by BESA (Building Engineering Services Association), which defines industry best practices for ventilation system cleanliness. This certification isn’t a formality—it’s a legal and operational necessity for restaurants, commercial kitchens, and food facilities across the UK. TR19 ensures that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and maintained to a measurable and auditable standard, reducing fire risk, improving airflow efficiency, and safeguarding health and safety.
Our team conducts all cleanings in strict compliance with TR19, from canopy to fan. Every service is supported by full documentation and audit trails. TR19 certification is your defense during Environmental Health Officer (EHO) inspections and insurance audits, offering proof that your premises meet UK regulatory standards. Failure to comply can invalidate insurance policies and result in costly enforcement actions. With Duct Cleaning TipTop Ltd, you remain protected and inspection-ready.
Proof Through Practice: Before & After Evidence of Professional Work
At Duct Cleaning TipTop Ltd, transparency is part of our process. Every TR19 cleaning is documented with high-resolution before-and-after photos, clearly showing what was done and the measurable difference our service delivers. Our engineers use photographic evidence to visually record the condition of the system pre-clean and the results post-clean, covering: Kitchen conopies, Extraction ducts, Far units, Grease Filters.
Each photo set is timestamped and included in the final compliance report to serve as verifiable evidence during audits. This eliminates ambiguity and reinforces accountability.
Clients consistently remark on the professionalism of our documentation—images are not just for internal records but form a critical part of your compliance pack. You receive a digital portfolio of the service, which not only protects your establishment during inspections but also demonstrates due diligence to insurers, fire authorities, and facility stakeholders. With our detailed reporting, you can prove without doubt that your ventilation hygiene meets the TR19 standard.
