Why TR19 Compliance Matters for Your Business

TR19 is the UK industry standard for grease extraction cleaning in commercial kitchens, produced by BESA (the Building Engineering Services Association). It defines exactly how kitchen canopies, ductwork, filters, and fans must be cleaned to be legally compliant.

It's the only standard recognised by insurers, fire inspectors, and the law. A generic clean from a non-accredited contractor does not satisfy TR19 requirements. Only a BESA VHR-registered contractor like Hy5 can provide documentation that will hold up under scrutiny.

If your extraction system hasn't been cleaned to TR19 standard, your insurance policy may be invalid right now, and you may be in breach of fire safety law.

"I can actually hear the kitchen extract system working and the extract above the dishwash nearly pulled the sheet of blue roll out my hand when I was showing the management team how effective the clean was! The lads grafted the entire time, and the job has made a huge difference to the guys working in the kitchen. I am over the moon with the results!"

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my kitchen extraction system need cleaning?

TR19 recommends a minimum of annually for most commercial kitchens. High-use operations (fast food, large hotel kitchens) should clean every 3–6 months. Your technician will advise on the correct frequency for your specific setup.

What happens if I fail a fire inspection?

You could face enforcement notices, fines, forced closure, and in serious cases, prosecution. The Fire Safety Reform Act 2005 places the legal responsibility firmly on you as the building owner or manager.

Will my insurer accept a Hy5 TR19 certificate?

Yes. As a BESA VHR-registered contractor, our TR19 compliance certificates are recognised by UK insurers. This is the documentation your insurer will request if you make a claim.

Do you work with restaurants, pubs, hotels, and schools?

Yes, we work with all types of commercial catering operations. Our CHAS Elite accreditation means we meet the requirements for school and public sector sites.

How long does a TR19 extraction clean take?

Most commercial kitchen extraction cleans take between 2 and 6 hours depending on system size and complexity. We offer early morning and out-of-hours appointments to minimise disruption.
