TR19 Kitchen Extraction
Cleaning in Carlisle

Keeping Carlisle commercial kitchens legally compliant, insured, and protected from fire. BESCA-certified technicians, with your certificate issued promptly.

Legal Requirement in Carlisle

The Fire Safety Reform Act 2005 places legal liability directly on you as the building owner or manager in Carlisle, regardless of size or business type.

Fire Risk is Real

Grease buildup in extraction systems is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. Carlisle businesses are not exempt from these risks.

Your Insurance May Be Void

Your insurer requires TR19-standard cleaning as proof of best practice. Without it, a fire claim could be rejected outright.

TR19 Cleaning in Carlisle: What You Need to Know

TR19 is the UK standard for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning, produced by BESA. It defines exactly how canopies, ductwork, filters, and fans must be cleaned to be legally and insurer-compliant.

Businesses in Carlisle, whether restaurants, pubs, hotels, care homes or schools, must comply. A generic clean from a non-accredited contractor does not satisfy TR19. Only a BESA VHR-registered contractor like Hy5 can issue a valid compliance certificate.

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

200µm

Maximum grease deposit permitted under TR19. We measure and document on every job, and your certificate shows proof.

12 months

Recommended maximum cleaning interval. High-use kitchens in Carlisle may need cleaning every 3–6 months.

Everything Included, Nothing Left Uncleaned

Our full TR19 clean for Carlisle businesses covers every component of your system. Partial cleaning won't meet compliance.

Canopy & Hood Clean

Full degreasing of the kitchen canopy and hood, the first point of grease capture.

Ductwork Degreasing

Full internal duct clean from canopy to discharge, where the most dangerous grease accumulates.

Filter Cleaning

Grease filters removed, chemically cleaned and reinstalled, or replaced if beyond service life.

Fan & Motor Clean

Extract fan and motor thoroughly cleaned to maintain efficiency and eliminate fire risk.

Grease Micron Readings

We measure deposits across the entire system. TR19 requires readings below 200µm, and we record every one.
