Cumbria ChamberLegal Requirement in Lancaster
The Fire Safety Reform Act 2005 places legal liability directly on you as the building owner or manager, regardless of size or business type.
Fire Risk is Real
Grease buildup in extraction systems is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires. Lancaster and Morecambe businesses are not exempt.
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 Lancaster: 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.
Lancaster has a growing food and drink scene, including independent restaurants and gastro-pubs, hotels serving the Bay area tourism trade, and university catering operations. Every commercial kitchen shares the same legal obligation: extraction systems must be cleaned to TR19 standard by a BESCA VHR accredited contractor. A generic clean from an unaccredited contractor does not satisfy that requirement.
If your extraction system in Lancaster 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.
Maximum grease deposit permitted under TR19. We measure and document on every job, and your certificate shows proof.
Extraction grease is the leading cause of commercial kitchen fires in the UK, including in Lancaster and the Morecambe Bay area.
Recommended maximum cleaning interval. High-use Lancaster kitchens may need cleaning every 3–6 months.
Everything Included: Nothing Left Uncleaned
Our full TR19 clean covers every component of your system. Partial cleaning won't meet compliance, and it won't satisfy your insurer.
Canopy & Hood Clean
Full degreasing of the kitchen canopy and hood, the first point of grease capture in your system.
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 at the terminal.
Grease Micron Readings
We measure deposits across the entire system. TR19 requires readings below 200µm, and every reading is recorded.
TR19 Compliance Certificate
Full written report and certificate issued on completion. Show your insurer or fire inspector with confidence.
