Frequently Asked Questions

Under TR19 guidance, most Swansea kitchens need professional extract cleaning at least every six months. High-volume sites — takeaways, Wind Street bars and busy seafront restaurants — typically need it every three months.

TR19 is the industry standard for the hygiene of commercial kitchen extract systems, published by BESA. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, the full ductwork run and the extraction fan, with grease readings and a compliance certificate.

TR19 is a BESA Technical Report — the guide to good practice for the fire risk management of grease accumulation in kitchen extract systems. It's the benchmark insurers and fire-risk assessors use.

Canopy cleaning covers the visible hood and filters; ductwork cleaning covers the hidden run out to the discharge, where the most dangerous grease builds up. A full TR19 clean does both, plus the fan.

TR19 itself is guidance, but you have duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and food hygiene law. In practice, insurers and fire-risk assessors treat TR19-standard cleaning as the required benchmark.

Yes. Most commercial kitchen policies require the extract system to be maintained to a recognised standard. After a grease fire, missing cleaning records can see a claim challenged or refused.

Yes — the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to virtually all commercial premises, and grease accumulation in extract systems is a recognised fire risk you must manage.
