TR19 cleaning across HA6

Kitchen extract cleaning across HA6: what to expect

Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in HA6 give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate.

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.

  1. We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning across HA6: local notes

Kitchens across HA6 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.

HA6 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.

Eastbury: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Emmanuel Church, or anywhere in Eastbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Eastbury Farm Primary School or anywhere near Eastbury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • A fan motor that has burnt out
  • A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
  • Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)

Looking after it afterwards

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works

After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Managing agents and facilities teams in HA6

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Why act early?

TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.

FAQs for HA6

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?

A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

How do you protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

What should I send you?

Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.

What do I get after the clean?

You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
