TR19 cleaning across TN33

About kitchen extract cleaning in TN33

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in TN33 give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease drips onto cooking equipment.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

TN33 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in TN33. Coastal kitchens in TN33 often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

What affects the quote in TN33

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition we find in the survey

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part

Ductwork and risers

Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Multi-site and managed buildings

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in TN33 and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Why deal with it now?

Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in TN33 as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day.

TN33: your questions answered

Which parts of the extract do you clean?

Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.

How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?

BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.

Where does the waste go?

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

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

How do you protect the area?

We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
